Carbon dioxide is not poisonous, but it won't sustain life. If you breathe carbon dioxide in strong concentrations that exclude sufficient oxygen you will suffocate and die of lack of oxygen.

This happens occasionally as an industrial accident when workers enter food processing tanks in which fermentation has consumed all the oxygen. Such tanks should always be ventilated with a strong blower.

Global warming is not going to produce enough carbon dioxide to suffocate anybody.

Too much of it can cause you to suffocate, however we take in a good amount of it every time we take a breath. inhaled air contains about 0.5 percent of co2 but exhaled air contains 4%-5% of co2
