Yeah but these levels have never changed so fast without an mass extinction.

Nobody claims it will end life on earth. It might just end life as we know it as a species given we never hunted dinosaurs.

To my understanding this is decently modelled in long term climate simulations. Plants won't save us and the increased absorption rate of plants with higher CO2 levels is well studied in the lab and accounted for.

Note that these are the same simulations that cannot accurately predict future climate based on past/present conditions. At present there is no model in use that can predict current conditions from past data. It's shameful that government policy makers are relying on this junk.
