Virtually all (circa 98%) global CO2 comes from natural sources -- the biosphere and volcanic emissions. It isn't clear what kinds of cycles the biosphere, especially, is prone to. Warmer earth means more living flora and fauna which, up to a point, begets more CO2. And we can't do a darned thing about this, unless we want to poison much of the world's vegetation and wildlife.

The oceans contains colossal amounts of CO2 some of which is released in an average ~ 800 yr lag after a period of high insolation. The famous Vostok Ice core data shows this lag:

I read yesterday about how flawed the climate models are as well. They don’t take into account the oceans almost unlimited ability to absorb CO2. The models assume CO2 remains in the atmosphere almost permanently.
