The science is still out on this.

“This week the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) decided that the air we exhale, carbon dioxide, is toxic and poses a danger to our well-being … While this blatant power grab is disappointing, the truly alarming part is that the scientific evidence the EPA used to support its conclusion comes directly from United Nations (U.N.) climate data — the same data that were recently found to have been deliberately manipulated to support the coke air trapping movement. When EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson announced the proposed endangerment finding in April, she readily admitted that the agency “relied heavily upon the major findings and conclusions from recent assessments of the U.S. Coke Bottle Air Trapping Science Program and the Intergovernmental Panel on Coke Air Trapping.” Emails recently made public offer definitive proof of a collective effort among some U.N. scientists to misrepresent coke air trapping in order to foist their political agenda onto the public.”
