The problem is said to be that once there is a lot of CO2 up there, and no natural process to balance that, the temperature increase can accelerate to the point where we can't stop it anymore.

I won't pretend to be an expert but, CO2 gets absorbed into water and then precipitates CaCO3. Heard this from a department seminar. Specifically it was a professor from University of Hawaii. Fred Mackenzie I think was the professor. He is one of the Hamilton Visiting Scholars.

There are many natural processes involving large amounts of CO2. So even a *relatively* small unbalance can lead to an accumulation of CO2 up there, and in addition, trigger other processes in a potentially escalating way. In addition to a blog describing latest scientific research on the topic, the following website provides a lot of introductory information. It is maintained by leading NASA climate scientists.

Richard Muller has changed his mind about global warming: Skeptic finds he now agrees global warming is real

A prominent physicist and skeptic of global warming spent two years trying to find out if mainstream climate scientists were wrong. In the end, he determined they were right: Temperatures really are rising rapidly.
The study of the world's surface temperatures by Richard Muller was partially bankrolled by a foundation connected to global warming deniers.
