Their rates of absorption may be higher than previously thought by as much as 16%.
Plants become bigger and are able to absorb more CO2.
“This new paper suggests plants are slightly better at capturing CO2 than we thought."
("Slightly" being the key word.)
We still have to drastically reduce our fossil fuel emissions.

As I understand it from looking at the PNAS abstract, the rise in atmospheric CO2 has been a little less all along than it would have been without the newly notices effect. See http://www.pnas.org/...ad-7cab1ca99d2f The Keeling curve would have been steeper all along. See https://scripps.ucsd...s/keelingcurve/. So it's a good thing, has held down climate change a little all along. Just a little.
