"At one time, carbon dioxide was 700 TIMES HIGHER than it is now!!!! Was there "runaway global warming"? NO, OF COURSE NOT! or we wouldn't be here now!"

What time was this? I am not arguing with the rest of what you said nor the exploitation of the concept of anthropogenic climate change by the power elites, but I'm sceptical of a claim like this without anything to back it up (and I question if it's really necessary to make, or distracts from the point at best and detracts at worst).

From what I have read, among the geological periods of the Earth known for complex multicellular life, CO2 was highest in the late Cambrian to early Ordovician and temperatures at this time were an estimated 37°C to 50°C or 70°C (depending on how conservative the estimate is), and at this time CO2 levels were only 20 times higher than today, not 700 times. This period is known for its extreme global warming.

Maybe the data I'm looking at is wrong, or maybe you're talking about some other period preceding multicellular life as we know it and even kingdoms like animals, plants, and fungi, but your statement leaves me only to guess. If I am wrong, being less vague would be much appreciated to give others a chance to actually learn something.
