A facile comparison: the problem with CO2 involves the equilibrium level (or lack thereof) between the flows of what is emitted to the pool versus removed.

In contrast, excessive bio-available nitrogen is unlikely to build up, not when most of the biosphere is waiting to grab it and (relatively quickly) turn it back into inert N2 gas.
