The carbon cycle moves carbon in and out of the atmosphere in a natural process, so it would not be possible to prevent this. We can prevent CO2 from entering the atmosphere through our activities by stopping the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), which we do in industry, transport and to generate electricity. To do this we need to switch completely to renewable energy. There are also trials happening to capture the carbon dioxide as it is released from the fossil fuel combustion, but none are successful yet on any large scale.
