Adding exponential doesn't help your argument.

Not within several thousands of years. The Earth would need to lose a gigantic amount of heat for that to happen. As of now, it is only receiving more heat than it emits.
And the rise is trending up. And we're burning more fossil fuel. While the population growth seems on an S curve and not trending up so much anymore, the average worldwide wealth and hence consumption more than makes up for that. In combination it sure is exponential.
Mauna Loa's CO2 level registration is curving up faster than ever:

Ah well, let it burn. Not our generation's problem anyway.
