Neither forests, deserts nor soils are carbon sinks, only (very limited) carbon stores. To remove CO2 from the atmosphere, you have to create organic matter and then bury it. As a first step in that direction, do not use recycled paper. Making paper and burying it in landfills is the only human-caused process that puts carbon back into the earth.
Earth will never become comparable to venus. Our oversized moon prevents earth from accumulating such a thick atmosphere. Also, please try to stay reasonable. We're talking about 380ppm CO2 on earth while venus has 965000ppm CO2.
The Venusian reference was irresistible, but, as you say, an exaggeration.
