Could it (for example, with lightning), form
ozone?

Lightning creates ozone from O2 molecules. It is the primary source of ozone for the world. CO2 and H2O combine instantly to carbonic acid( a very weak acid) which in sea water instantly forms a bicarb buffer system. The colder the water the more CO2 it can capture. This is the major CO2 sink for the world. Whereas land plants are a carbon sink but a very minor one. Plants only take up carbon(instantly) when they are growing and with sunlight. So not at night or in the winter. Apparently snow grabs CO2 also. Maybe as fast as sea water? There is no buffer system with distilled water or snow.

1. I don't believe it reacts with lightning. It is a rather stable molecule.
2. Again nothing to write home about.
3. I know it does like to stick to water. And make carbonic acid.

Hi, truckdriver--it sounds like you're pussyfooting around the issue of global warming. Millions of tons of crap DAILY into the atmosphere is nothing to sneeze at. Pun intended.
We are screwing ourselves over for a buck.
Shooting ourselves in the herd.
Stepping on our own ducks.
Cutting off our nose to spite our finch.
Kicking ourselves in the aardvark.
We're ruining it for everybody and everything, and people who can't accept it are three fries short of a Happy Meal.
Have a nice day.
