The other commenter didnt say it's suffocating us, just that CO2 levels are used by the body to figure out whether we are suffocating, and that the elevated levels might cause a subconscious reaction. We nearly doubled the CO2 compared to before industrialization.
Seriously? I used the word suffocating to reference what he said about suffocating, however he danced around it. It's called context. *I added quotation marks to match his quotation marks if that helps.
First off, no need to be so condescending.
Next, what do you mean by dancing around it? The original comment just said that we might have some adverse effects, not that it is suffocating us. The word suffocation was originally only mentioned to explain that our body is capable of noticing differences in CO2 concentration.
I matched the energy you gave.
Whatever their attitude, the poster is right. They added valuable information that disproved the OPs hypothesis.
I still dont see how it disproves anything. Yeah, we have little amounts of co2 in our air, why should that mean that we can't detect a change?
Because it's 0.3%. Our body is not sensitive enough to notice this. Causing climate change through the greenhouse effect, destroying the planet, absolutely. But it's not suffocating anyone.
