Why don’t you include a correlating plot of the increasing global temperature and then extrapolate the predicted future increase in CO2 along with the continued predicted increase in temperature. Won’t this show that while the Concentration of CO2 goes up the global temperature will level off to around a 10 degree maximum increase relative to todays even if CO2 concentration goes up to the 1000s . Also you don't mention the impact of CO2 concentration increase has on shifting the photosynthesise reaction to the right and the resultant effect this would have on the production of green matter which would also lock up a lot of carbon. Geologically it is thought that the huge populations of herbivorous dinosaurs which reigned for around 150 million years and reaching masses of the order of 100metric tons ( the largest discovered to date 75 metric tons but the mechanical physics for bone is i in excess of even 100 tons) These giant Sauropods evolved over and over again and it is considered that the high CO2 concentrations ensured a much greater proliferation of green matter to feed them . After all they were wiped out when the sunlight was blocked out and the vegetation food supply disappeared

Thanks Stan

The plot you ask about is in the link below (watch it build up over time)
