When you are so worried about your carbon atoms that you keep two oxygen molecules with it at all times as bodyguards.

Dry ice is one of the fastest ways of finding cavities or loose fittings. The dentist gets the patient to bite a sheet of dry ice; then, he pries you off the ceiling and starts drilling.

Pure carbon dioxide is a great treat for trees or shrubs whose birthdays have come up.

Carbon dioxide, if used properly, can slowly suffocate and finally kill a fire… leaving you to deal with the guilt.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas but you can make your own with baking soda and vinegar. Then, you won’t have to pay those exorbitant greenhouse prices.

CO2 is what gives soda its fizz, making it an effervescent and refreshing beverage that might help keep your mind off of what you did to that poor grease fire…

Hemoglobin carries both oxygen and carbon dioxide through a complex set of chemical reactions known as the Haldane Effect. If you are getting oxygen to your cells in a different way, you are probably expending more effort than you should be…

CO2 is the main driver in ocean acidification. This drop in pH has resulted in some extinctions and resulted in certain fish species looking like actor Chris Pratt.
