If you breath in more co2 than o2 eventually yo will develop breathing problems like asthma and maybe worse. Your lungs can only filter out so much and you need o2 in your blood to survive.

Well, if you were to inhale pure greenhouse gases, you would die from anoxia (lack of oxygen). If you are talking about breathing air that contains greenhouse gases, nothing. The air has always contained greenhouse gases, if it didn't, it would be much colder (think Mars). The recent increase in CO2 is measured in parts per million and CO2 is not toxic so your lungs don't care.

There are no dangers in inhaling "greenhouse gases"; they are the same gases that already make up our air. Supposedly if you believe in "global warming" the percentages of certain gases are changing by an infinitesimal amount and that might change the amount of UV and IR radiation that gets in and out of our atmosphere.
Focusing in "greenhouse gases" distracts us from real dangerous gases like carbon monoxide and pollutants in our atmosphere.

As the "greenhouse gases" is nothing more then the CO2 that you breath all the time, it would have no affect. In fact, every time you breath you are exhaling CO2. Unless the level of CO2 was elevated to where you had difficulty getting oxygen, it would not harm you. It would take a considerable increase in CO2 to reach that point in the normal atomsphere.

Depends on the gas. The main greenhouse gas is water vapor which is non-toxic. Methane is a less important greenhouse gas and it is toxic in high enough concentrations. Carbon dioxide is a minor greenhouse gas, it's the bubbles in soda pop, and it's non-toxic to humans and necessary for plants.

The green house gases ,the hole total is only 1.1 % and the only thing that maters to u is that oxygen is 20.9%.. If the oxygen drops below 19.5 % u are unconscious anyway.

Nothing. You do it every day so life goes on as normal. All the hype about it is just hype and nothing to take seriously.
