No, the 50% figure doesn't strike me as improbable. The evidence is overwhelming!
The 280ppm figure is well accepted, and nobody has come up with a credible alternative claim. Importantly, calculations based on fossil fuel use show human activity has released far more CO2 into the atmosphere than it would take to increase the amount in the atmosphere by 50%; more CO2 has gone into the ocean than come out of it.
Ottmar Edenhofer has been frequently misquoted in denialist propaganda, and his unsympathetically translated quotes (the original was in German) have been taken out of context to fool people into believing he was using climate policy as a smokescreen to achieve the outcome of redistributing the world's wealth. But if you read what he said in context it's clear he's actually emphasising the importance of development policy to achieve environmental objectives.
