Higher carbon dioxide levels could muddle our thinking
Humans are now pumping CO2 into the atmosphere at such a rate that it is heating the atmosphere. But as CO2
levels rise, we may be faced with another problem—muddled thinking.
Prior research has shown that higher-than-normal levels of CO2 can lead to cognitive problems. In this new effort, the researchers looked at the problem of increasing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere and its impact on children learning in a classroom.
