A study, just out Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, supports a long-standing theory that some plants become more efficient at using water under higher carbon dioxide concentrations. This is a boon for the plant, allowing for more efficient photosynthesis, the chemical process by which plants make food for themselves, which requires both carbon dioxide and water.
Better photosynthesis helps plants grow bigger — which in turn allows them to store more carbon away. That means if plants around the world continue to adjust to rising carbon dioxide concentrations, increasing their biomass on a global scale, they could actually help offset some of our human carbon emissions by removing more carbon dioxide from the air.
...
In fact, the researchers suggest not only that changes in global plant behavior may actually be enough to alter the composition of carbon atoms in the atmosphere, but that this process can help solve a puzzling mystery about what’s happening to all the carbon dioxide we put into the atmosphere.
God's creation of plant life continues cleaning up the atmosphere. I wonder if the climate changers put this into their equations.
Honest science is man's attempt to ascertain what God designed.
Junk science is man's attempt to conceal what God designed, and profit from it.
If we would only let religious people make all of the important decisions instead of those silly secular scientists, the country would be in much better shape.

The fact that you wonder if climate change scientists account for plants in their equations says basically all we need to know about your level of understanding of the topic.

So much for the saying that there are no stupid questions...
Go back to the OP - where it notes that the scientists were having trouble comprehending how the plants were increasing their CO2 intake.
The whole cycle that is in play... we produce carbon dioxide, and plants absorb it... the plants produce oxygen and we take that in... that is straight from God. No man created that. It wasn't some random act of explosive creation. The scientists were able to see the process and explain it, but God implemented it.
Yes, and without the sun there would be no vegetation. Without water we would not exist. Without air we would not exist. Everything we have here that is made and manufactured came out of the ground. Now that is a miracle in itself.
God is also the creator and he made man in his image to create. God releases information to man through wisdom. We are motivated to create through God.
