Yes, the biosphere can rapidly remove carbon. However, the total amount it can remove and store on geologic timescales is very small. The total amount of biomass on the planet is not that large compared to what we're talking about. Furthermore, most organic matter decomposes and releases the carbon back into the atmosphere. On geologic timescales, the biosphere is not a major player in the carbon cycle. I don't understand how politcs factors into this. This is basic science.
