ISS CO2 levels get pretty high compared to ground, so we have 30+ years of data from human spaceflight alone.

Nice didn't think of that!
Following up on this. ISS limits are close to 3000-4000ppm.
I imagine these results would hold. They seem intuitive, except that one inverse one (it’s a small sample size though)
But with that being said, the CO2 levels in our atmosphere aren’t going to get that high. Indoor levels can reach the levels in this study, but it would take centuries for our atmospheric CO2 to get that high.
The study was only with 22 people so I wonder if there has been other research on other activities/larger datasets/etc...etc...
I would argue that any measurable effect on CO2 levels will affect humans on some macro level. As you say, it will most likely not affect activity in the low range (and within our lifetimes), but as time goes on, I would expect the data to point to many sociological effects. I have no evidence of course, hence why Im trying to take a look.
