I am fairly certain they teach the gist of all of that in even in school-level textbooks on biology/geography.

Hopefully they never stop.
adrian puts it quite well though.
Keeping that in mind;
>What role, if any, did carbonate mineral formation have in sequestering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
Looks like as much as it possibly could.
It was the primary driver until life happened. Then life was, and now they exist in a delicate balance.
I get the idea that the throwaway account was suggesting we can just "do whatever forever" without consequences though, and that's just not true. Most CO2 sequestration on earth is now biological in origin and has been for a very long time.
