"Certainly IT DEMANDS to be factored into climate change models,"
You expect them to put photosynthesis into climate models when they don't even put NIGHT TIME into climate models?

Clearly you are conceptionally challenged... You see photosynthesis by land based plants derives its carbon source from the atmosphere. Photosynthesis by land based plants derives its carbon source from the ocean. Clearly the available carbon in the oceans is sufficient to not be a limiting factor to planktonic photosynthesis, otherwise the alkalinity of the ocean would be very low. So planktonic photosynthesis does NOT affect the atmospheric concentration of CO2, human activities do.
