I don't know how to break this to you, but incorporation into plants (of CO2)
would not result in an atmosphere devoid of O2.  Seems that the plants have
this habit of spitting out the O2 and puting the C into storage ... Does 
take water though, with consumption of its H2 and O.  Might be a problem in
a few million years, but by then it would be oil again ...
