Carbon dioxide overload, detected in human blood, suggests a potentially toxic atmosphere within 50 years. After this time, elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide, leading to CO2 accumulation in the body, has the potential to cause a range of adverse health effects. : r/science

"While panic and anxiety attacks generally occur at high levels of CO2, the distribution of liability to CO2 sensitivity is continuous and normally distributed in humans and animals. This means that there are potentially small anxiety increases even at the current and near-future elevated levels of atmospheric CO2. To this effect, increased hormones associated with anxiety have been observed in mammals at levels of CO2 in the range 700–1000 ppm (Kiray et al., 2014; Martrette et al., 2017; Wyrwoll et al., 2022). Even a small permanent increase in global human anxiety could have a dangerous impact on societies being associated with greater fear, mental disturbance, conflicts, etc." From the article.
