I don't know, but probably, since we interpret reality through the lens of our biases & models we are exposed to/believe in. There's unknown unknowns in a complex phenomena re: climate.
According to this video, a signature of CO2 warming is the surface & lower atmosphere warms while the upper atmosphere cools.

Yet the current heavy snow storm in Europe is being caused by the splitting of the polar vortex, caused by warming in the stratosphere.

There's speculation that the acceleration of movement of the magnetic poles may have a factor, but it's a complex system...

Point is, there are many complex dynamics at play & it's tempting to many people to subscribe a single factor as the primary cause. The reality is far more complex than what many of us would prefer, so many of us view reality with a simpler lens that we wish to see things with...
