No life in the ocean and only a population drop of 20 to 30%? Man, you're wildly optimistic.
There is no evidence, by the way, in the CO2 records that have been kept at Mauna Loa since the fifties of any of the things that have been done so far having any effect. CO2 emissions rise and fall with the economy, so much so that it's actually the only indicator I use anymore to tell how the global economy is doing (slow crawl right now, but everyone knows that anyway). Not only that, but the rate at which CO2 is increasing is itself increasing; meaning, the increase is, and has been since records started being kept, parabolic.
That being the case, that means there's no limit to how high CO2 levels will get, at all. There's no reason for it to stop at 400, which we're very close to now, or 500, or 600. The only way to stop it would be a massive human population collapse.
I give that event a 100% chance of happening, and I'd say it's about three generations away. Your grandchildren may get to see it.
Or not. Odds are they won't survive it, after all.
