Astronauts breathe O2, just as we all do. There are life support systems on spacecraft and on the Space Station that provide oxygen and absorb CO2. On the Space Station, there is an oxygen generator, as well as a water recycling system.

After you breathe air IN, your body uses some (but not all) of the oxygen in it. A lot of that oxygen that your body uses get converted to carbon dioxide, and it's added to the air that you breathe out. So your exhaled air has a greater concentration of carbon dioxide than fresh air has.
Do space heaters produce carbon monoxide?
Yes, you can. If there is not enough oxygen, you can always get some dangerous chemicals. Perfect burning of carbon: C + O2 -> CO2 But if there is not enough oxygen, this may happen: C + 1/2 O2 -> CO That is why you should let the wood to 'breathe'.
How does too much CO2 in the atmosphere effect the climate?
CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere will make the climate hotter because it acts like a 'greenhouse' or blanket as it insulates heat in the atmosphere. CO2 allows heat to pass into the atmosphere but it doesn't allow heat to pass out into space. Too much CO2 in the atmosphere would trap the heat in the atmosphere, causing climate change.
