There are many counteracting natural processes on Earth that keep the climate relatively stable in all directions. For instance, oceans can just absorb quite a large amount of CO2, thus preventing a greenhouse gas effect from occurring in the atmosphere. Polar icecaps also melt and that absorbs a huge amount of energy, stabilizing the temperature. Eventually, many of these processes become depleted and global average temperature starts to rise.
