It's weird to me that there's no mention of silicate weathering in that article as the big negative CO2-temperature feedback. If anything CO2 levels are fighting against a warming/wetting Earth which weathers more rock and captures it... although maybe on a very long timescale

I think the figure I saw was that if human emissions stopped tomorrow, silicate weathering would get rid of the excess carbon in something on the order of 10k years.
