Really thanks, I'll make sure I remember that. Sarcasm.

Living creatures breathe in oxygen and exhale co2, then the gases that come out the other end aren't any better for the atmosphere. Methane, ch4 causes more damage to the ozone then you can understand because you didn't know it.

Co and co2 from combustion engines is smaller if at all considerable since the use of catalytic converts compared to the population vehicles to all living organisms. There are plenty of other forms of scrubbing co and co2, one being planet life. But mostly its the increase of hydro carbons into the environment that are the problem, every real publication will identify that as the problem.
