The optimal CO2 level isn’t even constant between plants, but at the upper end “good for plants” is the same as “makes humans 25% worse in memory speed/accuracy tests”.

Humans have high adaptability to increased CO₂ loads (see e.g. freedivers), but adaptation takes time. The studies usually deal with temporary CO₂ increases / O₂ decreases, often in way higher concentrations like 1-10%, whereas a couple percent atmospheric CO₂ would already burn us to a crisp (figuratively).

Seems there is merit for concern, though I stand by my claims of cognitive effects probably being more temporary than permanent.
