It's not. If you were to bubble CO2 through water and add a Ph indicator (such as phenolphthalein) to the solution, you would see it change color signifying that some of the CO2 dissolved in the water to form carbonic acid.

Carbonate is insoluble in water EXCEPT when it's with elements in Group 1A and Ammonium ion. Calcium is in Group 2A; thus, insoluble in water. Polarity is another factor, but I don't have time. Wiki polarity.

Barium sulfate is insoluble in water, while barium carbonate will dissolve. As barium carbonate dissolves in water, it dissociates, and the barium ions are freed. The barium ions are toxic, and that is the crux of the issue.
