What could possibly go wrong?

I remember reading a Scientific American article about an unusual disaster that occurred in Africa. Apparently, there was some sort of thermal inversion in a lake, and a large CO2 concentration built up there. The thermal distribution changed, the carbon dioxide came out of solution, the lake made a huge CO2 burp, and everyone around the shore died from suffocation.

Here, the pressurization is man made. What could go wrong?

That was circa 1993 and I remember it. It was in the mainstream news

That was one of my first thoughts too.

Not to mention that if we could capture all the Co2 then plant life would all die.

Some survived by remaining at sufficient altitude above the lake level- on hill tops, ect. Co2 is 1.5 times air density, thus follows the lower ground contours absent sufficient wind strength.

Co2 Fire Suppression system accidental exposure results see Appendix B:
