@Australian(View Post) Look, that's carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide is IN THE AIR WE BREATH. People don't just drop dead, do they? It gets removed from our bodies. SIMPLES.
Fair enough, if you were stuck in a room full of it, you'd die. But that's the same as being stuck in a room full of hydrogen, nitrogen or any other gas that isn't oxygen. OK?
CO2 doesn't kill you. Lack of oxygen does. If there is too little oxygen in the air, you'd die eventually. But that isn't because of the carbon dioxide. That's just because of lack of oxygen.
