My comment about the atmosphere on venus was saying that it is avery similar 
to what the earths atmosphere would be IF all of the burried hydrocarbon mass 
is burned and released into the atmosphere of earth.

>to the CO2 levels?

Is that a rhetorical question?
Large masses of plant life scrubb the co2 out of the atmosphere.  The issue 
isn't whether or not co2 is intrinsically bad, it is that it is currently way 
out of balance.  If we produced the amount of co2 that the plant mass on earth 
used, plants and mammals would be happy.
