CO2 in parts per million, PPM has no properties that effect Earth's environment, well plants have adapted to consume CO2 at scarce levels, so a doubling CO2 would likely increase plant growth using sunlight and water to make more plant.

It makes sense that as plants now grow and produce hydrocarbons that microbes could be engineered to produce hydrocarbon fuels.

There is no data in the 600,000 of proxy temperatures showing CO2 going down and driving temperature. The only logical explanation of CO2 vs proxy temperatures supposes that temperatures drives the PPM of CO2 by the known property of ocean water to dissolve or hold more CO2 as it's temperature is lowered.
