If that biomass is offsetting coal/oil/gas then there is still a net positive of not adding more fossil carbon to the atmosphere.
The first step in slowing down or stopping climate change is to stop releasing fossil carbon.
Eventually we need to figure out how to sequester the excess carbon, but that's still sadly in the future. It's going to be hugely expensive but still less expensive than losing every coastal city to flooding. Unfortunately the latter is probably going to have to happen before we make progress on the former.
