“CO2 is not a pollutant”

Exactly. One of the things that bothers me the most about the CO2 global warming hoopla, is that it diverts attention from pollution problems that are real. For example, if Obama were to complain about the toxic chemicals involved as a byproduct of oil production in the Alberta Oil Sands, so that we need to proceed very carefully, with adequate pollution controls, in the production of oil from our own oil sands, at least it would be a real issue.

CO2 is not a pollutant.

In trace amounts it isn't a problem. What is a little scary is when they talk about carbon capture or sequestration - concentrating the carbon, storing underground, etc. Carbonic acid can contaminate water supplies. Carbonic acid itself is not a serious contaminant, but it can dissolve other minerals and metals which could be more of a problem. Also, what if there was a mass release of the CO2? Accidental releases have the potential to kill. Beware the unintended consequences.
