"Modern CO2 deprived plants and plankton will correct CO2 levels in a very short period of time. The total plant biomass of the planet has increased due to the 1 degree, meaning the more CO2 and heat there is the more CO2 is removed from the atmosphere."
Would be true if there were enough space and enough other nutrients (like N, P and K) in natural ecosystems to support unlimited growth. Would also be true if the heat and the added labile C in the soil solution wouldnt prime the decomposers, increasing soil respiration of CO2. Would also be true if the increased sequestration wouldnt also increase N sequestration, which are a limiting nutrient in many ecosystem (this is called the progressive N limitation concept or PNL). The one degree celsius increase if human greenhouse gases would cease tomorrow takes this into account,  the effect you are describing is already accounted for in the models.

But one good thing is that an icefree arctic region means more drillable oil for Russia, Denmark, Norway, US and Canada!!! Isnt it ironic...
