I know you like to pound on the strawmen and play the semantics game, but humans are the only true polluters. Technically one may say a volcano causes pollution, but it is not a polluter in the sense that it is not a rational actor. A volcano can no more intend to pollute than it can pollute in error. Humans can and have done both.
Excess CO2 in the ocean and atmosphere has been demonstrated to be harmful to the enviroment AKA the dictionary definition of pollution. If you'd like to call someone an ass about it take it up with science.
WHoo Hoo, I made my saving throw VS dictionary attack!
