How would Earth's atmosphere change if plants stop carrying out photosynthesis?

Plants utilize carbon dioxide (CO2) to perform photosynthesis. This is fortunate, because all living things produce CO2 as a byproduct of respiration and oxidation. If the plants didn't absorb it, it would build up in the atmosphere to dangerous levels, and life as we know would cease to exist.
