ELI5: Why can't we just have the plants absorb the excess CO2 in the atmosphere.

I know that certain indoor agricultural processes utilise co2 for significantly increase yields? Do plants in the wild then not use extra CO2?


Edit. If the current balance of plant , animal life and emissions is in disequilibrium is there a certain amount of extra plant matter which would correct the problem?

Edit. Could we plant our way out of the problem?  What species of plant would be most suitabe? I've heard that hemp grows quite vigorously producing a woody tree in one season and the fibres produce fabric more durable than cotton .

Prior to burning fossil fules, we had a balance of CO2 producers (mammal life breathing oxygen and exhaling CO2) and oxygen producers (plant life).

We're damaging the oceans and clearing forests while burning fossil fuels, which releases tons of extra CO2 with less plant life to convert it.

It's not like there's a place were we can just plant our way out of it at that scale.  We'd need a continent worth of trees.
