As the chart on page 36 shows, because there is already so much CO2 in the air, increasing CO2 from 402 ppm now to 1000 ppm at which point people will have serious headaches will only increase temperature very slightly. This is no cause for concern. Sea level will not rise beyond a meter. Greenland will not melt.

The world is safe.


On top of that, because Earth was emerging from the most recent little ice age caused by Sun's cycle, Earth was naturally warming since 1800 anyway. The 1 C increase since 1800, assuming they knew what the global temperature was in 1800, is perfectly within natural variation.

I don't buy the author's claim that it takes thousands of years for CO2 to take effect and Earth to re balance itself. Why? Because just look at summer and winter. Only a few months and boom the temperature changes drastically, with a lag of only about a couple of weeks for the ocean to adjust. CO2 is not boom added all at once. Every year about 2 or 3 ppm is added. Every year Earth should be able to fully adjust. The increase from 280 ppm to 402 ppm had negligible effect on climate. The increase in temperature caused by the increase in CO2 cannot be more than 1 C since 1800, assuming they even knew what the global temperature was back in 1800, because Earth was emerging from the most recent little ice age with a natural warming trend anyway. No island was drowned. No glacier was melted. Nothing was changed.

1. CO2 is neither poison nor pollution. As long there is ~20% oxygen to breathe, it won't matter if it's 1,000 ppm or 10,000 ppm. We currently breathe in 78% nitrogen and we don't get headaches.

2. CO2 has no magical superpower to create heat. It can't raise temperature.

Actually if the PPM of CO2 went up to 10,000 we really would have some health issues as it would disrupt our respiration cycle. The partial pressure of dissolved CO2 in our veinous system would be lower than the partial pressure of CO2 in the inhaled air and so we would not be able evacuate CO2 from our blood until PP CO2 was more than the inhaled air and I dont think that would be a good thing.

That's why the distinguished Dr. William Happer says 1000 ppm is ideal.

"Partial pressure" is not a factor.

The human cardiovascular system delivers CO2 to the lungs and the CO2 is passed into the lungs by the alveoli, irrespective of the pressure in the lungs. It is a continual process that occurs while we inhale and exhale.

The diaphragm opens and compresses the lungs, expelling whatever gases are in the lungs and drawing in whatever gases there are to breathe. If that air has 20% oxygen, then the human body gets the oxygen it needs.

If the partial pressure of CO2 in the inspired air is higher than that of CO2 in solution in the blood then CO2 will pass from the air to the blood not the other way round.
The body utilises approximately 5% of the inspired oxygen which is converted to CO2.

No. The alveoli serve as one-way transfer points for CO2 and O2. The alveoli extract the CO2 from the blood and place it into the lungs, irrespective of pressure in the lungs. The alveoli pass inhaled O2 to the blood, irrespective of pressure in the lungs. The diaphragm simply controls the inhaling and exhaling.

MK001 has it right, IBdaMann. Under your model, it would be possible to survive in environments beyond 10,000ppm and where there is little oxygen.

The alveoli are not smart. They do not serve as one way doors. They simply provide a place where blood is closely exposed to air and allow the reaction to take place, but without all the usual clotting problems such exposure would normally start. The reaction is a balanced reaction seeking an equilibrium between the blood and air. Since there is much more oxygen than carbon dioxide, the reaction works in our favor. It is not the pressure of the lungs, it's the relative amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide in them. A certain pressure in each cycle is needed, however, to provide sufficient oxygen for our needs.

Plants can run the reaction backwards because of the qualities of chlorophyll that can combine carbon dioxide, water, and light to produce carbohydrates and release oxygen in the process.

Even more reason why you need to understand partial pressures of gases. As a saturation diver, I always found it facinating that at a depth of 300 meters our breathing gas was 2% O2 and 98% Helium! good old partial pressure.

I understand partial pressure. You are trying to hijack the point.

You claim that an increase of the percentage of CO2, say to 1% or 10,000 ppm, would cause us to have breathing problems, even if the percentage of oxygen were to remain the same (e.g. the percentage of nitrogen takes a hit). I claim that if we still have 21% oxygen then we will still be able to breathe, and that partial pressure of any gas does not enter as a factor because breathing will still occur.

You, however claim otherwise. You claim that by reaching 1% CO2 that the alveoli will begin forcing CO2 into the blood and will hinder CO2 being expelled from the blood and then lungs.

Since our air is 79% nitrogen (far more than 1%), why aren't we all suffering/dying from nitrogen in our blood? ...or do you believe that we are?

Good ol' partial pressure.

Nitrogen is not part of the respiration system, its just filler! The body is saturated with nitrogen at 1 atmosphere and so no transfer takes place.
As to the impact of CO2; it has been demonstrated that increased levels of CO2 in the inhaled gas has a direct effect on cognative ability which starts at around 600ppm and becomes a signative factor at levels over 1000ppm. So if you had levels of 10,000 ppm then brain function would be negatively impacted. I took part in some diving trials in the 90s working in elevated CO2 environments and I can assure you it does mess you up and also causes savage headaches.
NASA sets limits for CO2 in the ISS at around 300ppm for this very reason. Most office buildings have levels at around 600 - 1000ppm and this is considered to be a polution factor (indoors)

While this thread has provided a mildly entertaining insight into yet another of IBdaMann's fields of ignorance, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is very unlikely to reach levels that directly impact on human respiration. The actual concern is, of course, the effects of an enhanced greenhouse effect arising from additional CO2 on climate systems and on sea level and acidity.

No, this has not been "demonstrated", to use your passive voice. What has been demonstrated is that humans are quite capable of working in 600 ppm CO2 environments without any noticeable effect. Also, only scientifically illiterate warmizombies have declared CO2 to be poison or pollution.

In fact, OSHA's warning of elevated CO2 levels stems from CO2 being heavier than oxygen and, in enclosed workplaces, could threaten to displace O2 down near the floor where people are.

Yes, it has been demonstrated that people will experience breathing issues whenever O2 is sufficiently reduced/restricted. My examples specify oxygen of 21%. You simply try to treat CO2 as a poison and don't mention amount of oxygen available for breathing.

So back to nitrogen at 79%. That's 790,000 ppm! Due to its intense partial pressure forcing it into our blood via our alveoli, we should all be dead, yes? Except that last time I checked, I wasn't dead.

Idiot!

You really dont understand the subject matter on this topic at all do you!

790,000ppm in the inhaled gas and 790,000 ppm in solution in the body there is no pressure gradient hence no transfer in either direction unless the ambient pressure changes. Did I mention I was a saturation diver? look it up retard.

Sorry. No one living is anywhere near saturated with nitrogen; s/he would be dead. Those who are not saturated but who merely have too much can suffer from many different maladies.

Try again.

No, this has not been "demonstrated", to use your passive voice. What has been demonstrated is that humans are quite capable of working in 600 ppm CO2 environments without any noticeable effect. Also, only scientifically illiterate warmizombies have declared CO2 to be poison or pollution.

In fact, OSHA's warning of elevated CO2 levels stems from CO2 being heavier than oxygen and, in enclosed workplaces, could threaten to displace O2 down near the floor where people are.

Yes, it has been demonstrated that people will experience breathing issues whenever O2 is sufficiently reduced/restricted. My examples specify oxygen of 21%. You simply try to treat CO2 as a poison and don't mention amount of oxygen available for breathing.

So back to nitrogen at 79%. That's 790,000 ppm! Due to its intense partial pressure forcing it into our blood via our alveoli, we should all be dead, yes? Except that last time I checked, I wasn't dead.

I found this on a kids site it should be easier for you to follow.
Nitrogen is a major component of the air we breathe. For this reason, nitrogen gas becomes dissolved in our body tissues. Under normal everyday conditions our body tissues are saturated with nitrogen. That is to say, the tissues of our body hold the maximum amount of dissolved nitrogen possible and are held in solution, in a state of dynamic equilibrium.
If however conditions change, say the air pressure should suddenly drop, this equilibrium becomes unbalanced, and the conditions within the body tissues tend to shift to re-establish the equilibrium.

The solubility of a gas in a liquid depends directly upon its partial pressure and inversely upon the temperature of the solvent.

For a healthy human the body temperature is essentially constant. However, when living or working in extreme environments, the pressure to which one is subjected can change significantly.

If ambient pressure increases, the equilibrium shifts towards more dissolved gas. If the ambient pressure decreases, the equilibrium shifts towards less dissolved gas.

If you need pictures I will send you some.

You seem to be confusing carbon monoxide with carbon dioxide. There is no headache symptom at 1000 ppm (0.1%) carbon dioxide. In fact there seems to be no physiological affect noticed at all, even with exertion.

There is with carbon monoxide. Symptoms begin to appear with concentrations as low as 50ppm.

CO2 will not produce headaches until the concentration approaches 30000 ppm and then only with repeated exposure. You have to get up to 50000 ppm to experience headaches upon initial exposure. Most governments don't even consider it a problem to monitor until concentrations reach 5000 ppm, including the US (OSHA) or the EU.

I work with both of these gases all the time, and nitrogen also. You are correct concerning the nitrogen saturation in our tissues. It is why sudden drops in pressure can cause the bends.

No it was CO2 and we were tested for cognative function while in elvated CO2 environment to simulate the conditions that could be expirienced during diving and also to establish the safe set points for rebreathers (where the alarm levels should be). This work was conducted at NEDU in Panama City FL and DCIEM in Toronto. Carbon Monoxide has its own problems and I have treated a few cases of CO poisoning in recomression chambers both in the UK and in Canada.

Let's run over the numbers again:

1. Atmosphere is 790,000 ppm nitrogen, 400 ppm CO2.
2. The human body is verifiably nowhere near saturated with nitrogen.
3. Human blood carries CO2 to be expelled by the lungs. One could measure the amount of CO2 in an exhale to gauge how much was expelled by the body in that breath.

So, we arrive at your claim that if atmospheric CO2 were elevated to 1% then partial pressure will pump it into the blood through the alveoli, but not for nitrogen.

Could I persuade you to elaborate on that apparent disconnect? Yes, you can call me names while you do.

Look if you dont understand what saturated at 1 ATA means with respect to nitrogen in the human body then it is difficult for me to get through to you that your question with regard to nitrogen is pointless. There is no transfer of nitrogen because no more can be squeezed in!.

If the ambient environment of CO2 was 1% then the body would saturate to that level and the excess that is produced through respiration and the consumption of Oxygen would be expelled in the same manner as now.

...but I am going concede the point about the atmospheric pressure. I decided to not wait for you to provide any sort of explanation and I did a little more research myself. It turns out that the alveoli function a bit differently than I thought. They will allow nitrogen to pass to the blood. I thought they did not. Frankly I'm not sure how I thought nitrogen entered the body.

Humans are not saturated with nitrogen. You shouldn't use that word. It certainly is possible to "squeeze more in". It's just that humans remain at a nitrogen equilibrium with the internal nitrogen dissolved in blood and tissue. Those nitrogen levels can easily be elevated (or lowered). If they become too elevated then there is a host of medical conditions that could arise.

So, we are left with CO2. If I were to enter an environment with 1% CO2 but with 21% oxygen, would I somehow not be able to breathe the oxygen that I need?

It turns out that the alveoli function a bit differently than I thought. They will allow nitrogen to pass to the blood. I thought they did not. Frankly I'm not sure how I thought nitrogen entered the body.

Humans are not saturated with nitrogen. You shouldn't use that word. It certainly is possible to "squeeze more in". It's just that humans remain at a nitrogen equilibrium with the internal nitrogen dissolved in blood and tissue. Those nitrogen levels can easily be elevated (or lowered). If they become too elevated then there is a host of medical conditions that could arise.

So, we are left with CO2. If I were to enter an environment with 1% CO2 but with 21% oxygen, would I somehow not be able to breathe the oxygen that I need?

You will be able to breath in the oxygen you need and no more. Once equilibrium is established between air and blood, the reaction stops.

Your body will still metabolise the 5% of oxygen it does now and convert that to CO2 in the blood to be carried back to the lungs. Your body would be saturated (it is the correct term I assure you) with CO2 at 1% which you will not be able to get rid of. There would not be any accumulation of CO2 other than that 1% and as i said earlier, exposure to CO2 at that level and higher does currently cause some cognative function issues, but I am sure humans would adapt to those higher levels of CO2 over time.

I agree that blood CO2 levels would increase as a result of a 1% atmospheric CO2 quantity but I am not aware of any study on humans that checks blood CO2 levels in response to increasing atmospheric CO2 levels. I'm not in the habit of drawing conclusions based on figures being nice round numbers. I'm willing to say that you might be completely correct about the medical/physiological ramifications of elevated atmospheric CO2, but no one knows. That test has not been done. Of course of interest would be such a test across gender, age groups, metabolic rates and cardio-pulmonary health.

I realize you are certain that "saturation" is the correct word,and I'm willing to accept that other divers are taught that this is the correct word, but "saturated" means something very specific, and any human walking around can physically fit more nitrogen in their bodies.

What would happen to my blood nitrogen level if atmospheric nitrogen were to increase from 78% to 79%? Would my nitrogen level increase? If so, how is that possible if I had already been "saturated"?
