Basically, yes. But at scale, most ecosystems of plants reach an equilibrium where old plants die and rot, releasing as much CO2 as the growing ones are taking in.

Not at the scale they'd need t. The sun evaporates water from the sea, but nobody is expecting the whole sea to have evaporated by the end of today - because atmospheric sunlight is too small in scale to boil the ocean.

Is this like the in vogue political talking point these days or something. You're like the fifth person across a couple different articles that I've seen make this "point" today.

Environmentalists are just young and stupid and have been since the 1960s. Which is sad because these are real problems that need fixing by people who can do math and science.
