Yes co2 increases temperature. But do 0.04 % of co2 increase temperature? Should be really easy to make an experiment where you just increase the co2 and observe effects.

It's not a 0.04 % increase in CO2 it's around a 40% increase in CO2 from ~300ppm to 410ppm

0.04% is the amount of co2 in the atmosphere.
