The trend does appear to be quit linear over the last 30 years - although
not earlier. Like you, I expect this to change for the worse in the not so
distant future, but I think that without evidence to the contrary, a linear
projection is best.

Um, it seems increasingly likely that we're right about peak oil
production now, and more and more countries are talking about dumping
fossil fuel electrical production for nukes. Where exactly is all this
CO2 going to be coming from?

Coal, gas, oil sands, tar, methane hydrates.

During the PETM CO2 went sky high very suddenly.

There is plenty of accessible hydrocarbons around.

When the carbonates start dissolving, watch out!
