Just one small correction, which is in the article but somehow is wrong in the title.

Rainfall increases the ocean’s uptake of carbon by 6%, and the ocean accounts for one quarter of global uptake. So the amount we’re talking about here is 1.5% and doesn’t include the amount rainfall contributes to uptake of carbon on land unless we just chalk all rainfall up to oceanic uptake.

Great you mentioned this, so I just edited the title so the point is clear.
