re: Scott Pruitt says carbon dioxide is not a primary contributor to global warming

The last 3 micro climate cycles (we have been in a warm intermittent period between major ice ages for about 10,000 years-macro cycles) are:
The Midieval Warm (950AD-1250AD) about 300 years, the Little Ice Age (1250AD-1820AD) about 570 years, and the Modern Warm (1820AD-Present) about 100 years and counting.

I do think the climate is warming

You are 100% correct. As you can see from above, we are in a warming cycle just like the one Nature created in 950AD!

and humans are affecting that by expediting it.

No reasonable argument can be made that the CO2 emissions of 1800 caused or influenced the natural climate change that started our modern cycle!

The fastest warming and highest temperatures occurred in the first half of the Medieval Warm period. Strong evidence shows that global "warming" hasn't occurred in the last decade. Notice how Global Warming has transitioned to Climate Change? Maybe we're approaching the mid point of the.modern cycle? The evidence is not there to predict ANYTHING!

People have a normal psychological need to see life as a glass half empty. Remember how the earth would end in Y2K, the Mayan Calendar, and some (thankfully very few) are actually preparing for the zombie apocalypse or some other shite hits the fan disaster?

I think normal hubristic pessimism is the best cause of natural climate change that they call man-made. I refuse to allow these anti capitalists/environmental chicken littles degrade my lifestyle and the lifestyles of my children.

The evidence for the draconian need to prevent climatic disaster is spewed from climate computer models. They have not made a single accurate prediction!

Oh by the way, global biological carrying capacity goes up with warmer temperatures and increased plant food aka CO2. Call me simple, but I see more life as a good thing!
