I believe as the Earth overheats Volcanism might be our only safety hatch. The current rate of warming is unprecedented in the entire geologic history. The increase in CO2 concentrations we have accumulated over 200 years took almost a million years. The only other safety mechanism might be if the Atlantic current stalls. I feel that this warming might make earthquakes increase too.
