If you don't mind 0 humans... Then ignore c02 completely. If humans matter, then C02 levels are worth your attention.

How long do you think it would take for CO2 to get so bad that it would kill human beings?
Mammals thrived in much higher CO2 levels in history (before mankind).
So is it the CO2 that is somehow going to get so dense that it kill us? Or is it still supposed to be the slightly warmer temps that will kill us all (global warming)?
I can't keep up with all the doom and gloom.
The CO2 was being sucked into the ocean (it adapted) and it looked like everything was gonna be "ok"...but the guys making billions of dollars selling carbon credits saw their fortunes in danger and the next thing you know...that has now become a "bad" thing too because it will supposedly change the ocean's php levels to more acidic.
I'm not a scientist...but I wish I were. Then I could cash in and get myself a big funding grant from Al Gore and join in on the money train. heh-heh
Earth has been much warmer...including just a few hundred years ago. And it ushered in the Rennaisance era (people were able to grow food easier and lead better lives because they weren't freezing to death).
Earth has had much higher levels of CO2...including recently (in Earth's overall history) and even though humans hadn't yet evolved...our distant ancestors were certainly there and not only lived...but evolved and continued to evolve over time.
Sorry man...I really believe what I said earlier. Mankind will be right here until a true extinction event occurs (meteor or catastrophic volcanic eruptions) that renders the Earth temporarily unlivable again.
Then life will start over and a few hundred million years later...a new dominant species will take over and we won't even be remembered.
And then the cycle will happen again and again...until the Sun's life cycle is up and it goes out. The End.
