The statement starts with an assumption. A "problem"? What problem would that be?
The problem is that it is a green house gas and also is absorbed into the ocean where it lowers the PH of the water throwing sensitive ecosystems out of balance. That's the problem with carbon.
Burning a tree is not a problem. It releases carbon back into a closed cycle where it is absorbed by another tree and so on, just like the water cycle. But we happen to have an enormous amount of carbon stuck deep inside the Earth, which in the last couple hundred years we've started pouring back into the atmosphere.
Maybe the planet warming is a coincidence. You know what, I hope it is. I hope I and the rest of the world am wrong about all this. But what's the harm? We end up with clean renewable energy? God forbid.
