The Earth is actually at its most carbon-starved - by far - since life on it, due to how much is locked up in fossil fuels. Best thing to do environmentally would be releasing it by using them - so yet another reason they want these phased out.
(1) The lowest level of CO2 was 18,000 years ago. But the levels today are still extremely low. There was 2,000 times more CO2 in the atmostphere 500,000,000 years ago (Cambrian Explosion) than today.
(2) The idea that carbon gets "locked up" in "fossil fuels" is a myth. There is no such thing as a "fossil fuel" and it is a myth that dead dinosaurs and other previous living things are "locked up in them." It is simply petroleum, not "fossil fuels." Petroleum is a naturally-occuring liquid within the Earth (2nd only to water). It is created when calcium carbonate and iron oxide are pressed together under high temperature and high pressure. This has been known by the Russians for decades.

OK, close - my point about the reverse opinion about carbon and the environment still stands of course.
HUH, I missed this one, thanks.
Edit - more on 2 for those just wandering in
