"CO2 in the air is a good thing".

I believe in the Greenhouse theory, but let's skip that and like at the microenvironment. Too much CO2 will kill you; look at the submarine movies. As CO2 builds up in the air, and hence the blood, (or in patients with chronic lung disease, just in the blood 'cuz they can't ventilate well enuf), respirations initially increase, then as CO2 gets to around 6-7%, acts as an anesthetic respiratory depressant, and can lead to death without intervention.
