Yes they are. Anything can be a pollutant, even heat.

Excess CO2 can cause harm even if it doesn't affect the climate. Google ocean acidification, for example.

CO2 emissions aren't pollution in the normal sense of the term.
Not in your normal sense of the term........for you 10% CO2 would be abnormal but not a danger to anyone.....after all you could still breathe ..... Do you think the dramatic rise in CO2 is having any effect at all????? Hint: if you added more insulation to your attic would the house lose more or less heat????? CO2 is a poor thermal conductor compared to normal air...think about it.

Many of the same activities that create CO2 which leads to climate change also pollute the air.

As for "doing the right thing" your begging the question.

Its not begging the question. We know what the right thing to do is. You all don't want to do it because you are cheap.
