There's not even close to enough CO2 in the atmosphere to have that profound of an effect on our IQ. If it was then our own breath would give us all brain damage and our species would have gone extinct millions of years ago. Pollution and poor air circulation indoors is one thing, but the ambient CO2 in the atmosphere outdoors is another.
- davorak 4y agoI think it would be hard to directly study the ~1/3, ~320-420ppm increase in background CO2 levels over the last ~60 years: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-atmospheric-carbon-dioxide https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/... Maybe raising rats in different CO2 levels over several generations. I would be interested in the results of a study like that.
