Tim,

Other emissions yes, but I've never seen anything claiming CO2 causes smog. Do you have a link to information about this?

I did not say that it causes smog in and of itself. However, it does contribute and enhance the process. The link is below:

Edit : CO2 is I believe the third biggest component of our atmosphere. If it causes smog smog would exist even in untouched wilderness such as Antartica or some small unihabited island in the South Pacific.

Why?

CO2 does not create smog; again, it enhances its production.

Since CO2 is a result of the photosynthesis process and the burning of fossil fuels, it stands to reason that there probably isn't a lot of CO2 in the Antartica and probably not that much on the deserted island unless it has lush vegetation.
