So it sounds like the climate change problem will be solved before too long, if the rate continues to increase. According to another post above, CO2 levels above 40,000 ppm are "immediately harmful" (I read that as lethal), while levels above 5,000 cause oxygen deprivation. So, when there's too much CO2 in the atmosphere because stupid humans refuse to stop driving giant SUVs, the air itself will prevent humans from even functioning mentally, human society will collapse, and the human population will quickly fall.

Though... 40k ppm is talking extinction of all mammals, probably more. The greenhouse effect at that level is probably insane, I wonder if we might lose liquid water well before that point.
