CO2 is not poisonous. As all life on Earth is carbon based, CO2 will always be the byproduct of decay.
Furthermore, if you are alluding to global warming, it isn't proved. As far as so-called greenhouse gasses are concerned, more such gasses have been released by a recent volcanic eruption than all of those created by man since the Industrial Revolution.
Oh, by the way, the most recent studies show that CO2 does NOT trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere and that the atmosphere is not like a "closed car in the Sun."
However, if you're a science fiction fan, Al Gore's movie is now playing.

It all depends on how much we (everybody on the planet) pays attention to the emmission of fossil fuels, because in the past, a lot of people didn't really care about how much pollution affected the environment, but with movies like An Inconvenient Truth and people like Al Gore, the planet may be able to survive 100 years of "pollution abuse." It's possible that the planet may not survive 100 years if we cannot control our carbon dioxide emissions, because there might be flooding due to the greenhouse effect, which traps sunlight and melts glaciers, which can in turn raise the sea level, but the real question is: can we (or our descendants) survive the harmful carbon dioxide emissions and its effects?

There is no CO2 abuse (it's a lie by the liberals). And YES our planet will survive at least another 1000 years.

of course
The planet has survived millions of years with high CO2 levels and with low, with ice ages and warm periods.
Some organisms do much better with higher CO2 concentrations and some do worse. Some organisms will do better under conditions caused by higher CO2 whether that be global warming, flooding, or whatever.
The question of how it will affect people in general and me or my children or grandchildren in particular, is a harder one. I think people are about the toughest things on the planet so the species will doubtless survive.

As CO2 is only a small part of the problem the answer has to be yes.
The real problem is greenhouse gases, methane, ethane, refrigerants and a whole host of others.
The problem could be cured almost overnight if Americans gave up eating beefburgers! Cows give off huge amounts of gas from their backsides which go straight up imto the upper atmosphere. Stop eating the beef and the cows will be disposed of. No cows = no gas = problem solved!

Yes because technology is ever advancing and newer and better ways of handling the CO2 problems are being invented.

No problem. The real problem is can we survive another 100 years of environmentalistic terrorism from the likes of Al Gore et. al.

The planet will survive. We will just have new diseases and mutations that will kill a lot of people off. A nuclear was though may destroy life as we know it though.
