Water vapor ... serves mostly to keep the average temperatures moderated to within a relatively narrow range.

Earth's surface chemistry is also heavily buffered by the 100 tons of diverse living biomass per human. If the chemistry shifts just a little, such as CO2 increasing 0.01% over 100 years, slight increases in plant growth will beat it back down.

The phyto plankton in the top half inch of the ocean will deplete it long before land based plants get a crack at it.
