CO2 is a heavy gas, so it tends to sink. This is why pits or shafts in mines tend to collect the gas. You climb down into the pit just fine, but then you find yourself panting from lack of oxygen, you pass out, and suffocate to death.
Winds buoy CO2 aloft, in much the same way wind picks up leaves, dust, and light weight debris. So CO2 gets evenly distributed in the atmosphere's lower layers. Concentrations in cities, particularly along busy streets, may range from 400 to 600 parts per million. Of course the global average is now very close to 400 ppm, and at the rate we are consuming fossil fuels we will pass 500 ppm before 2050.

∙ 9y agoMost of the water vapor and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is found in the Troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere. Though carbon dioxide is evenly distributed, the concentration of water vapor varied considerably from one geographic location to the next.
