How is catalytic converter related to global warming and environment?

Question

Answer 1

A catalytic converter splits exaust fumes and leaves some sort of fluid, the best answers you will find for it is on Wikipedia.

Answer 2

Catalytic converters help oxidize petroleum products.  They create CO2 in larger amounts but reduce the volatile emissions (including benzene).  The hydrocarbons will oxidize eventually so I am not sure how catalytic converter could do anything related to presumed global warming related to CO2.  The reduction of certain volatiles is certainly beneficial.  Benzene, for example,  is a carcinogen.
