As CO2 concentrations increase and temperatures rise, will the temperature at which C3 carbon fixation is in equilibrium with photorespiration rise more or less than ambient temperature (average)?

Why does CO2 take the form of small molecules with each carbon double-bonded to two oxygens, while SiO2 takes the form of silicon single-bonding tetrahedrally to four oxygens which also each bond to another silicon (forming large glass networks)?
