Elevated CO2 levels literally slow your brain functioning down. Heavily elevated CO2 levels flat out kill you.
If you're going to come up with quips, come up with one that doesn't make the rest of us sound like blithering idiots.
you're thinking of CO
No, I'm not. That's orders of magnitude worse.
If you've ever noticed that going outside or opening a window wakes you up, you've noticed that changes in CO2 levels effect your alertness.

CO2 being dangerous/painful in excess is the reason we euthanize pets with inert gas instead of just taking away oxygen and leaving the CO2.
