So the argument commonly used, if it isn't perfect it doesn't work.
We will never get off fossil fuels if we don't start. All over the world alternative energy production is proving to be viable. Here it is an uphill war. A way with know side effects - like climate change. I notice you ignore my link to the people YOU referenced, where they state clearly that climate change is real and climate change is aggravated by human activity.
Defintion of pollution: "Pollution is the introduction of harmful materials into the environment. These harmful materials are called pollutants. Pollutants can be natural, such as volcanic ash. They can also be created by human activity, such as trash or runoff produced by factories. Pollutants damage the quality of air, water, and land."
Please note that the definition does not exclude the possibility to a positive effect. It is anything introduced into an environment that causes harmful effects. So CO2 IS pollution. It's climate heating effect (harmful levels cause harmful heating) is KNOWN and PROVEN.
