And a vast majority of our planet's coral reefs are dying as a result of human caused climate-change...
"Corals are important to us for many reasons," Maurin says, "from a practical point of view, they can help protect coastlines from storm events, for instance, and help maintain fisheries that are essential to a lot of people. And complex compounds found in coral reefs hold promises in modern medicine. These are what we call ecosystem services that would be very difficult and expensive to replace."

Look into what "el nino`" is. I'm sure today we caused it, but in the past, it was a natural thing.
"Scientists have warned the impacts of El Nino -- combined with human-induced global warming -- will likely stretch beyond the weather"
"Impacts from both El Nino and global warming were 'projected to cause $84 trillion in 21st century losses'"

You do understand that the particulate from volcanoes reflect sunlight & that cools the earth thus offsets the Co2 the volcano emits.

" So burning carbon based fuels isnβt a pollutant ? "
" Carbon Based " Fuels as you say are Not the Point . Just one Big Erupting Volcano on the Face of this Earth would Release More CO2 Into the Atmosphere than Mankind has Released into it Since the Industrial Revolution . Again , you seem Fixated on the Idea that CO2 is in your Own Words , a " Pollutant " . It is Not , it is the Result of Combustible Materials being Ignited for the Purpose of Producing Energy and Power . Do Some Research if this Topic Interests you so Much .
