The air that you exhale contains water vapour. When you exhale during a cold day, the relative humidity increases. Relative humidity is actually the percentage of the amount of water vapour in the air.(the maximum amount of water vapour that the air can hold at that temperature) The colder the air, the less water vapour it can carry. When exhaled, air mixes with cold air, the temperature of the exhaled air drops, but there is more water vapour. When the air becomes saturated, (relative humidity is 100%), the extra water vapour will condense, allowing you to see your breathe on cold days.

here is a way to find out... breath in, then breath out... do you see anything?... no, the stuff you breath out is carbon dioxide.So the answer is yes... but when you can see your breath sometimes (usually in winter), that is because your breath is warm and the air is cold. Not because the cold makes carbon dioxide visible.
