Regarding CO posioning, gas engines produce more CO than diesel, because CO is a byproduct of incomplete combustion.

Furthermore it is an old misconception that engines doesn't suffer from idling, they do, and more than from being used. look up cylinder glazing.
Lastly - to me - its seems very wastefull and bad stewardship of nature and our ressources to leave a truck idling all night just to have a bit of A/C running.
