So you know how an air ionizer purify air, more or less takes out polution in a small basis right? what if we put the air ionizer in the car's catalytic converter so when CO2 comes out of the engine or the car, it'll be less pollutant, thus we're doing something to save the earth from global warming? what do you think?

The air ionizer doesn't remove CO2, it reduces particulate emissions from a room. There's currently no add-on control technology that can remove CO2 from a gas stream. If such a thing existed, we'd be hearing a lot more about it.

You can't change CO2 to be less polluting since it is a completely harmless gas. It is actually the safest form of carbon on the planet.
Carbon is the basis for life on this planet. CO, carbon monoxide, is a dangerous gas, but it's very unstable, converting to CO2 once it encounters Oxygen gas.
An air ionizer charges large particles and makes them stick to metal plates where they can be washed down the sink or wiped off. It won't attract a gas, just solids like dust.

Or.... we could always send Courage the Cowardly dog up into the ozone layer with a needle and tread to sew it shut.
It seemed like a good idea on the show, It's nice that maybe the makers of the show are trying to get the kids concerned with the Earth's well being.

for the benefit of our world then why not. if we base on how much it cost that would be ok. since we depend on air also.

If that were real, it would have been done by now.
