it could, but it's not easy.
high CO2 will produce acidosis (which will increase respiration and lower CO2)
But if the CO2 gets VERY high, it will displace O2 and asphixiate you.

∙ 14y agoYes, if it is concentrated, e.g. you are breathing nothing but it. Remember though, a large portion of the air we breathe is Carbon Dioxide. So, yes in large quantaties. That's why we need plants to live:
Humans breathe out Carbon dioxide > Plants breathe in carbon dioxide > Plants breathe out oxygen > humans breathe in oxygen > Humans breathe out Carbon dioxide > Plants breathe in carbon dioxide > and so on

Carbon dioxide.
Is carbon dioxide an element or carbon?
Carbon is an element, but not carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a compound of carbon and oxygen.
What gas is given off by cellular respiration?
Carbon Dioxide
The emission of carbon dioxide would determine the survival of life on the earth?
No, it will not ensure that but kill us. It is because the oxygen creating trees take up carbon dioxide to make oxygen.
