The sun does not control pollution, it controls the planet's temperature. Just take a look at Mars, there are no balmy afternoons on that planet.
As for pollution, if you are talking about sulfur, cyanide, heavy metals, etc. then I agree with you, we need to do everything we can to eliminate those contaminants from the atmosphere. If you are talking about carbon dioxide, we'll just have to disagree there. I see increased CO2 levels leading to stronger plant growth, which produces oxygen, which balances out the CO2 emissions. I wonder if all these gases increase the size of the atmosphere, or if the atmosphere stays constant based on the mass of the planet. Does the composition of the atmosphere determine what leaks out and what is retained? Does solar energy change the composition of the atmosphere? I don't know the answers to those questions. All I know is that the Sun is so huge that if we think we can change Earth's temperature, we might as well try defrosting Mars with a hairdryer.
