I do know that CO2 is increasing to a point of producing acid in the oceans and bleaching and KILLING the coral reefs ( a source of great natural beauty). Dying coral means that the oceans produce less food for mankind. The CO2 cycle has been disrupted due to man's use of IC engines and coal.

Not really. Breathing 100% anything (which, by definition, contains 0% oxygen) is going to kill you. Our air is 70% nitrogen. It is an inert gas but at least one state has an execution protocol for 100% nitrogen to be used in capital punishment cases. It's not the nitrogen that kills, but the lack of oxygen.
That doesn't mean nitrogen is a "pollutant".
