How serious is carbon dioxide poisoning?

How serious is carbon dioxide poisoning?

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about this article I read last month. Can someone please explain to me why this isn’t as bad as it sounds? I’m hopeful that my ignorance of science is making me hysterical.

“Most projections call for atmospheric CO2 concentrations to reach 500-plus PPM by mid-century, a level that will exceed tolerable carbon dioxide levels in the blood…”

Scientists detect a surprising shift in human blood as atmospheric CO2 rises

Hey guys, I hope it’s okay to ask about this…

I’m not of a scientist, but when I saw this article a couple of weeks ago I thought it sounded bad. Like, really bad. I have kids, so I worry about what the air will be like in 50 years.

Anyway, how bad is this news?
