There is no proof that increased CO2 emissions lead to warming of any serious degree and there is increasing proof that it is not much of a factor. Let's not confuse a pollution argument with a warming argument.
The earth is NOT a closed system like a terrarium where everything is controlled and non-dynamic.
You wanna keep the water clean...you wanna keep coal dust out of the air...I'm with ya. You wanna spend trillions of $$'s fixing a problem that doesn't exist instead of fixing REAL pollution and I'll fight all day long.

CO2 is not the only thing that released from a car - however the analogy is accurate. Take the millions of factories just here that release much more than CO2. Stuff even the press doesn't talk about...
Think about bleach for a second my friend.
Pour a bottle of it on something it doesn't actually effect anything. Add some water (atmosphere) and to a certain dilution level - becomes aggressive.
The big picture is always more indicative of the results than that of one that is soley focused on a micro prediction or result. Throw the puny slideshows and data graphs of one particular statistic to make the statistic work for marketing.. When you have dogs xxxx in your yard and you do not own dogs - does your grass go brown where they did it... I bet it does..
But just because you do not own a dog doesn't mean that you can you prove anything more than some dog **** in your yard. But you can prove that it does eventually kill your grass and eventually it may grow back...
BUt the keyword is eventually, because if every dog craps in your yard and you give up on the cleaning it up - your lawn will die...(proven not scientific conjecture and I do not even need a powerpoint slidewhow to illustrate such)... and we are only talking your yard and dog poop.. dog poop is not known for CO2 emissions btw...

Besides think of the potential in secure moorings where no need to drop 40 foot of chain - you just tie into into the 5th story window ...
