so that means that there must be something internal to the earth that is self-adjusting so that the earth always maintains a stable temperature -- not unchanging, but limited in the amount of change despite this large increase in solar radiation. narrator: the earth's ability to self-adjust its temperature is linked to carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas which captures heat that would normally radiate to outer space and sends it back to the surface. the more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the warmer the surface temperature. hoffman: it works in the following way. carbon dioxide is emitted to the atmosphere primarily from volcanic activity. carbon dioxide is consumed by rock decomposition. geologists call this process weathering. and that process consumes carbon dioxide. the carbon dioxide gets dissolved in groundwater and river water is deposited as sediment into the ocean and ultimately sinks back into the mantle through the plate-tectonic process called subduction. it gets heated up, and decarbonation reactions take place. and it's converted back into co2 which comes back out of volcano
