We breathe very tiny amounts of it all the time. We cannot breathe much, however, because to do so interferes with the system that regulates our breathing.

Can carbon dioxide kill you?

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.

How is the air you breathe in and the air you breathe out different?

The air you breathe out has different amounts of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and a few other substances in it than the air you breathed in. Your lungs absorb a lot of the oxygen, for example, which is then carried by red blood cells to your heart and muscles. Your body also produces carbon dioxide as a kind of waste product which is in the air you breathe out. So the air you breathe out has less oxygen but more carbon dioxide than the air you breathed in did. There are also other smaller changes that you could look up.

Is carbon dioxide bad for the world?

A little bit is fine. Scientists have estimated earth could sustain its climate at a level of 350 ppm. Above that, it is expected the climate will be significantly altered in a shorter period. We are currently nearly 400 ppm, and we expect to exceed 500 ppm before 2050. These levels will have many serious negative impacts, coupled with a few minor positive ones.
