Meaning all of the anthropogenic carbon from fossil fuel burning and cement production, plus an extra 1.6Gt, could be absorbed somewhere other than the atmosphere.

I am utterly amazed at how well you explained this. Even a lay-person as myself can grasp this.
I have a question that perhaps you could answer. How much co2 is in the entire earth's atmosphere? Is is a number that cannot be written in tonnes because it would be too huge?
