Oh goodie.

TL;DR: excess CO₂ in the atmosphere is altering human blood chemistry. It will exceed healthy limits within 50 years if we continue pumping CO₂ into the atmosphere at current rates.

Not to mention what it will do to people who are already unhealthy, and to animal life in general.

And no, beyond a certain level it’s not good for plants, either. That's another myth.

But yeah, let's keep burning gas and oil, and eating meat.

EDIT: see my addendum downthread.

This paper looks highly suspicious. CDC published the NHANES 2021-2023 dataset in 2024, about one year before the paper was submitted: https://wwwn.cdc.gov/nchs/nhanes/continuousnhanes/default.aspx?Cycle=2021-2023

Average bicarbonate reported in the 2021-2023 data is 24.4 mmol/l, which is much lower than both the 2017-2018 and 2019-2020 values included in the paper. It is likely that inclusion of the 2021-2023 data would sink the entire paper.

This looks a lot like statistical cherry-picking.

@hweimer I certainly hope you are correct!
