Did you take any science courses in college? or elementary school? Like... Anyone with any sort of ability to analyze information can plainly see that humans are causing an enormous amount of pollution and adding those chemicals and compounds to the atmosphere/biosphere are creating a situation where the earth is heating up. Sorry you don't understand the basics. Please try reading. Stop being mad/bad/sad.

Humans may be contributing to pollution, but CO2 isn't one of them. In fact, CO2 is a weak greenhouse gas. Water vapor is a much stronger green house gas. Much of the little spectrum that CO2 does affects is within the spectrum of water vapor. Also, CO2 is only about 3% of the total green house gases, water vapor being 95%. Green house gases are only about 3% to 5% of the total atmosphere. Man has only contributed a couple of percent of the CO2. CO2 is currently 415 parts per million (ppm). A few million years ago, it was about 10 times as much. The earth seemed to do ok then.
Plants need CO2 and are starving for it because CO2 has dropped so much over the last few million years. Near the end of the last full ice age, CO2 had dropped to less than 200ppm. Much less would have caused a near extinction level event.
Even Patrick Moore (former president of Green Peace Canada) doesn't think CO2 is an issue temperature wise. He said the Earth has been greening more with the increase in CO2.
Now, if you want to go after true pollutants, I'm with you, but CO2... no way.
