I'm not a physiologist, but I believe the breathing produces CO2 vs. CO, which is very different. CO produced by combustion is quite toxic.

That canvas is seriously porous, even without holes like mine has, and it provides a huge amount of air transfer that you wouldn't get in a regular car with the windows up. It also strikes me that two adults, a child, and a dog will convert a large amount of O2 to CO just by breathing, maybe more than a small propane flame--I don't know.
