WAKE UP!

Climate change may cause fatal drowsiness.

So you don’t care about and or believe in climate change? Ok then what about being slowly poisoned? Can you get that?

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is not just a so greenhouse gas, in high enough concentrations it’s poisonous to humans like you and you can measure for yourself that Carbon Dioxide levels in the air you breathe every second have risen.

Back in 1958 you could go outside for a breath of fresh air and the air would indeed be fresher than indoors because there was less Carbon Dioxide in it. (About 300 parts per million or 0.03%)

We are incredibly sensitive to Carbon Dioxide, if you are shut indoors in a stuffy poorly ventilated room you might notice that you start to feel drowsy and perhaps even sick.

That is likely because the Carbon Dioxide level has reached just 1000 parts per million or 0.1% from you and others in the room breathing out more and more Carbon Dioxide.

As global Carbon Dioxide levels rise in the air beyond 1000 parts per million or 0.1% they will become more and more toxic and opening a window won’t let fresh air in anymore because there won’t be any fresh air to let in.

Symptoms of acute Carbon Dioxide poisoning include;

  • Nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, rapid breathing and heart rate…
