The atmosphere contains 720 GT of CO2 and humans contribute only a small additional load on this balance. The oceans, land and atmosphere exchange CO2 continuously. A small shift in the balance between oceans and air would cause a much more severe rise in CO2 than anything we could produce.

Mindmeld, the point is that smog is a health hazard. It also looks ugly. That's obviously a pollutant.

CO2 is neither a health hazard (unless you're an astronaut and the CO2 scrubbers are malfunctioning) nor an eyesore. To treat it like a pollutant is silly, yet The Powers That Be want to do just that.
