Ja. Interesting thought experiment as a by-the-way:
when would another civilisation evolve that can support geological sciences capable of making the global assessment of our Great Carbon Event?
Once our tech civilisation has self-destructed, which is irreparable due to complexity in supply chains,
a new potential tech civilisation,
and with it, a new global geological science,
can only evolve after new resources of fossil energy got created.
The current remaining resources, meaning fossil fuels, metals, everything, even water!
are too deep underground to be accessible without putting in enormous amounts of energy. Such amounts of energy will stay unavailable to societies for millions, maybe 10s of millions of years – until said new fossil fuels got deposited.
