RobertMac,
Sometimes Mother Nature throws a few curveballs into the mix.

I wouldn't blindly rely on increased plant growth to soak up the excess CO2. Especially given that we have cut down most of the trees that once covered the Earth and, as others have noted, paved over much of the finest farmland on the planet (and continue to do so).
Doom and gloom isn't my mantra, but neither is the ostrich approach. I believed my beloved Grannie when she told me that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Still do. It fits well with my life experience so far.
Don't need an SUV, thanks, but a 4WD minivan is always welcome.
