They both can be deadly.

Just by different mechanisms.

Insidious thing about CO is it bonds to your hemoglobin and prevents oxygen absorption and transport. Doesn’t take a very high concentration to cause oxygen starvation.

CO2 isn’t toxic by itself. But in sufficient quantities it displaces oxygen with the effect similar to drowning.
