the tendency for O2 to float upwards and CO2 to migrate downwards is real even in macro scale systems. however. in a dynamic environment like a planetary atmosphere it tends to become remixed continually. so while CO2 levels are higher at ground level th O2 is still mixed in with it.. otherwise we would be in trouble here on earth as well.
