The first is that he may be leaving out or underestimating the amount of atmospheric CO2 that will be redistribured to other earth CO2 reservoirs - particularly the oceans, and thus he is applying the sensitivity to an injection of CO2, which will significantly decline over time.

Halting the production of marine biota C and maintaining the same fluxes of C out of marine biota, the marine biota C would be used up in about 3 weeks, at which point a 0.0022 % / year ** drawdown of O2 could persist for some longer time (** the actual removal of O2 from the atmosphere via oxidation in the deeper ocean may occur over a timescale of 1000 years, but the oxydation of organic C in the ocean might be completed over a significantly shorter time, so the actual removal of O2 from the atmosphere may be slower than 0.0022 % / year)-- but it still wouldn't have much total effect on the amount of atmospheric O2.
