Carbon dioxide is not pollution.

  It is, and isn't. Climate is a complex system, and CO² interacts with that system in a myriad of interesting ways. One of those ways is contributing to the whole "climate change" issue that so many climate scientists are concerned about, and that's a big honkin' part of what's causing the increased extreme weather issues, droughts, floods, etc, and directly contributing to wildfire dangers, among other fun stuff it's a big part of… On the other hand, if not for the drought issue affecting plant life in really negative ways, CO² is a thing plants happen to like, so there can be some benefits (to plants … in places not prone to drought). Still, in this particular case, the benefits do not appear to outweigh the dangers of continuing with "business as usual" as humans are so fond of doing.
