  Yes, what you do is grow a bunch of plants, who breath in the CO2 in order to grow (plants are mostly made of carbon) and make more plants.

  Oil came from old, buried animals. So in a sense, the CO2 was locked up underground until we brought it up and released it. We could either get more plants to suck it all up or we could trap the CO2 ourselves and shove it back underground. Both methods are being attempted!
