I would have thought both Clippo and Besoeker would have been able to articulate this fact as I am sure both know it

As regards fire extinguishers CO2 is used very frequently however in computer rooms other gases are used which I believe is Halon hence the admonition to RLF if a fire breaks out in a server room

I believe Besoeker did say it:
"I imagine the danger from CO2 would be asphyxiation."

You dismissed the mere '0.038%' of CO2 in the atmosphere as incapable of affecting the climate whereas I (& I'm sure Besoeker), say that it can. To demonstrate that different chemicals can have a very great effect, DEPENDING ON THE CONTEXT, we have given you some clear examples.

As usual, you're trying to change the subject

Besoeker says "You wouldn't live long in an atmosphere of pure CO2." and you accuse ME !!! of changing the subject ?!!!

You're having a laugh........

You wouldn't live long if the world consisted of 100% H2O but that doesn't mean water is evil and going to kill you in high doses ........

How Pathetic.....
