Yes.
Global warming (climate change) is being caused by increasing concentrations of carbon and other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. These concentrations are increasing because the global carbon cycle is out of balance.
The global carbon cycle is the dynamic exchange of carbon between the atmosphere, the oceans, the land, and plants and animals (the biosphere).
When we extract and burn fossil fuels, we are releasing vast quantities of carbon into the atmosphere. By growing more plants we are increasing the capacity of the biosphere to absorb carbon, thus helping to bring the global carbon cycle back into balance.
This is often described as biosequestration.
