Ahh...the Good Doctor was a good man... Even carbon dioxide, which is itself a rather benign and relatively nontoxic substance, is a deadly danger. The fuels we burn for energy at an ever-increasing rate are producing carbon dioxide at a rate greater than Earth's vegetation can utilize it and the ocean dissolve it. The result is that the percentage of carbon dioxide in the air (quite likely only .035 percent) is slowly but steadily increasing from year to year. By 2000 A.D., the carbon dioxide content of the air may have increased by one third beyond today's content. This won't interfere with our breathing noticeably, but it will conserve more of the heat Earth receives from the sun so that Earth's average temperature will go up somewhat. This will change the weather pattern, probably for the worse, and increase the rate at which the polar ice-caps melt, raising the sea-level noticeably and causing coastal areas to suffer more from high tides and storms - in short, the greenhouse effect.
