Photosynthesis.

Explanation:

From a natural "earth science" perspective, that is the only mechanism.

There are other man-made synthetic pathways that may be useful in recycling excess #CO_2# more quickly. They all involve catalytic reactions that "reverse" the combustion process essentially, forming #CH_4# and other hydrocarbons from #CO_2#. Methanol is another useful molecule that can be made relatively easily from #CO_2# and #CH_4#.
