First you should look the carbon cycle, it not that hard and usualy they are showed as a picture. So the carbon cycle will be affected becouse the use of fossil fuel releases to Atmosphere gases such as Co, CO2, greenhouse gases and other gases, This affects the availability( quantity) of gasses containing carbon in its formulation, so we will have more available carbon changing the dynamics of the cycle. It's as if you had a production line in a factory, too much of a certain product and little flux of it in production it would affect the whole process. So we have too much carbon gases avaliable and the cycle will be affected.
