“Plants take up a substantial amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year, thereby slowing down the detrimental effects of climate change, but the extent to which they will continue this CO2 uptake into the future has been uncertain,” cautioned Knauer.

Unless physics changes suddenly, they'll probably keep doing that forever. And I thought I was stupid.

slowing down the detrimental effects of climate change

Lol, nope. CO2 does not control the climate. Not even a little bit. Changes in the climate, particularly the temperature and level of the Oceans cause the level of CO2 on the atmosphere to change. Humans can also change the CO2 levels, but it has no effect on temperature.

Higher CO2 would be great. Plants evolved to favour CO2 levels around 1000-1200 ppm.
