The world's carbon-dioxide problem doesn't just affect the atmosphere — the gas is starting to fill our homes, schools, and offices, too.
Indoor levels of the gas are projected to climb so high, in fact, that they could cut people's ability to do complex cognitive tasks in half by the end of the century.
That prediction comes from three scientists from the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Pennsylvania, who presented their findings last week at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union. The study is still under peer review but available online in the repository Earth ArXiv.
The findings show that, if global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions continue to rise on their current trajectory, the concentration of CO2 in the air could more than double by 2100. Based on measurements of how humans function in spaces with that much CO2, the scientists warn, we could find ourselves scoring 50% lower on measures of complex thought by the end of the century.

Yes, but - RUSSIANS!!
The Russians are going to launch a whole fleet of satellites, for the purpose of laser beaming our buildings to create excessive CO₂ inside the buildings. More, they are working on rays and beams that will block the CO₂ from filtering out of our buildings. And, Russians, something something, blah blah, nuke the evil bastards!!
What I really want to know is, will EVERYONE vote Democrat after the 2100 elections?
