>> Do the plants on YOUR planet use up all the CO2?

I don't think scientific models are really to the point of being able to adequately predict the consumption of CO2 by plants in a realistic environment going forward because we don't know what plants 50 years from now will consume. Given current trends it is reasonable to assume that CO2 consumption will be higher then than now, while carbon production will undoubtedly be lower. Both, due to technological advancements and dare I say it, genetic modification.

It would not be shocking, were I going to still be around 50 years from now, to find out that the quantity of CO2 was dropping, leading to claims we are facing an ice-age.
