“Natural processes on Earth are currently able to absorb about half of human fossil fuel emissions. If those natural processes falter, slowing down the helpful removal of carbon dioxide, greenhouse-gas-induced warming would accelerate and intensify.”
I see only 3 items of fake news in this statement:
1. Natural carbon dioxide absorbing processes might falter. Is the ocean going to stop absorbing CO2? Are sea creatures going to stop forming calcium carbonate? Are plants going to stop photosynthesising? These are preposterous ideas.
2. Removing CO2 (from the atmosphere) is helpful. How is it helpful to remove CO2 from the atmosphere? Do we want to slow down plant growth? This idea is just ignorant.
3. Greenhouse-gas-induced warming would intensify. Increasing from 1 degree warming per century to 2 degrees per century is bad? In what way? A highly presumptive idea.

The Warmers totally ignore the fact that CO2 is close to the minimum level required to sustain plant life and if they were to succeed too well in reducing atmospheric CO2 all of those natural processes of CO2 sequestration the commenter refers to would cease and CO2 levels would suddenly skyrocket.
Not that it would matter because if all the plants died we would not be around to witness the effects of truly high CO2 levels. The Warmers continue to box themselves in with absurd premises.
