Literally everything you say is wrong and/or (usually and) ignorant.
The reason CO2 is used as a fire suppressant is because it its an inert gas that displaces oxygen and interrupts the chemical reaction of burning. It has no bearing whatsoever on global warming, global climate change or global pollution.
CO2 as a molecule is just delightful. Too much of it and other green house gasses in the atmosphere are bad.
Too much of any good thing, applied incorrectly, is bad.
Champagne is great stuff. If I hold your head in a bucket of it for 5 minutes (god I would love to) that would make it a killer. If we filled the ocean with it, marine life would die and beach goers would be perpetually drunk.
The issue isn't CO2 itself or the CO2 that circulates naturally through plant life or oceans. The issue is changing the chemistry of the earth's atmosphere by burning fossil fuels and massive animal farming. A few million cars convert hydrocarbons to free CO2 and a few million cows convert grain plants into free methane.
