I suppose they no longer teach the cycles in school. Water cycle, carbon cycle, I think there were a few more. The carbon dioxide builds up, spurs plant growth like mad (some greenhouses use CO2 for this purpose) which soaks up a lot of the excess CO2, and the increased acidity causes limestone rocks to dissolve faster till the excess CO2 is soaked up. Oxygen levels become a bit higher as a result but with a boom in food and plants comes a boom in animals. Even when a monster volcano eruption occurs the planet can regain balance in short order and volcanoes will dwarf what humans can pump into the atmosphere. And I have heard that simple algae is powerful enough to bring down CO
