Who's being naive?
People's interpretations are skewed, if a drug repeatedly passes a double blind showing efficacy no one's opinion on the matter is required, it's fact, proven.
C02 is a greenhouse gas, that's a fact, there are many others, methane is much worse. To deny this basic premise is akin to saying gravity is up for debate. Now how much, the effects etc are debatable to a degree. The problem now is that it's going to fast, never mind it's be hotter or colder, the climate is heating up to fast, faster than we have ever recorded.
Tech needs to outpace gas on a financial and convenience factor, the earth isn't going to melt. The problem is the speed is causing a lot of problems in many ecosystems, we may be able to solve the problems as they come but they will require tons of effort and ingenuity.
This is a complex issue, so local events can cause confusion. If it's not true we really know nothing about the climate at all which I couldn't fathom, we have rocket ships that can dock space stations supporting human life and operate machines on Mars.
