There is also a theory, and a model, that shows that as CO2 levels rise in
the atmosphere, the biosphere's mass increases proportionally. More carbon
dioxide means more living plant material.

That would be true is plant growth were restricted by CO2 availability. I have looked for information on that but have found little. One quick thought is that if it were true, plant growth near busy highways would be significantly greater. It makes sense at a certain level but no observations support it.
