CO2 at 2000 ppm is 0.2%, so the most your oxygen can be depleted is
that much, ie, about 21% to 20.8%. But what really matters is the
depletion in partial pressure of oxygen, not the proportion. You
already reduced your available oxygen by moving to 3000 feet.Luckily,
your body has the good sense to make more blood cells if needed
without your intervention. Remember the Mexico City Olympics...

Worry about the effects of CO2 on your heart rate and blood pH
instead.

Or open a door. Or move to a slightly lower altitude. Or get a lot of
broad-leafed plants.
