Tim adds:

In the early days of the debate there was solid disagreement about the effects of CO2 in this instance. There were those who argued it DID raise planetary temperatures - by up to two degrees - but that would lead to more cloud cover and a resultant cooling. A negative feedback.

This is the whole point of the climate sensitivity debate. Early on the media reported this but stopped because "The Science is Settled" they falsely claimed.

Increasing planetary albedo means cooling. Interestingly enough the last twenty years have not seen any real increase in planetary albedo, meaning the planet is not warming and evaporating water into the air. (which fits with Henrick Svensmark's theory of cosmic ray-driven cloud formations; the sun is less active than in the nineties and we have seen less cloud formation as a result.)
