Do you want to do something about it? Then a good way to proceed would probably to study why we are all freaking out. The basics for why too much CO2 is a problem are actually quite simple and might be accessible to you experimentally if you so choose. (What the exact consequences are is more complicated and we have uncertainties on the results, so that might be harder.) edit: (While some of the models are actually open-source and you can download them, running and understanding them in a useful manner is a full-time job.)
