Higher temperatures leads to increased weathering, which will remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reverse warming in a negative feedback loop. The CO2 gets dissolved in rainwater and forms carbonic acid which results in chemical weathering and the CO2 also combines with Ca to form calcium carbonate such as in coral reefs and thus ties up the CO2 in organic shells and coral.

Weathering results in the dissolution of rocks, when they are broken into very small chunks. This impacts the atmosphere around us in a large extent, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and affecting the temperature on Earth as well.
