Answer:

The carbon cycle plays a key role in regulating Earth's global temperature and climate by controlling the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect itself is a naturally occurring phenomenon that makes Earth warm enough for life to exist.

As the burning of fossil fuels and landscape alterations, such as deforestation and industrial agriculture, mobilize fossil carbon into the atmosphere, the earth's carbon cycle is pushed out of balance and climate changes. Human generated climate change is an enormous perturbation in the global carbon cycle.
