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

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.
