Thankfully the earth is a self-stabilizing system. Unfortunately it takes a few million years for the natural carbon cycle to reach equilibrium from a swing out point such as this.

Yeah, and it will stabilize to a climate that isn't very habitable for anything that currently lives here, maybe nothing will be here but simple called organisms, we really don't know how bad it will be.

Please reread my comment. It will stabilize it will just take an epoch. We will be very dead and extinct before that happens planet will be fine though It's been through far worse. I for one am excited to see what survives the next great dying.

My field is not climate change Nor am I an climate historian, but if I remember correctly take something like 25 to 35 million years give or take for the current excess carbon to be sequestered naturally

I'm not very excited for the suicide of humanity
