My main point is that if CO2 levels fall below 150 ppm there would be a mass extinction of land-based plants, and of all the animals who depend on this vegetation. If you care about life on the continents, and human life, this is a valid concern when people explore schemes to rapidly remove massive quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere.

It is unlikely that we will accidentally lower CO2 levels too quickly.

Moreover, if we do happen to accomplish such a thing, it's easy to raise C02 levels; just burn more fossil fuels temporarily.

I wonder if we'll ever increase the biomass enough that we'll actually want to increase the total carbon in the system...
