That's the other trumpet call of alarmists... labeling CO2 as pollution

the race card. It takes attention away from the real problems that do
exist and make everyone skeptical of the honest, trustworthy people
trying to raise awareness to those real problem.

+1 as much as you want. Just like someone saying that there's no proof
that CO2 is not causing problems, the reverse can also be true. It may
be causing immense problems, just that nature has so far been able to
handle it.

Then it's not an immense problem, by definition. Moreover, you have no proof
that more is bad. In fact, higher temperatures are for the most part, good.
Plants and animals like warm. Ice ages aren't a time for parties.

If or when it is realized that nature is not able to handle it
anymore, better damned well hope that it's not too late for humanity
to do something about it.
