Global Warming and Climate Change} if we are putting too much C02 in the atmosphere?
Global Warming, Solutions to Man-made causes of extra CO2. Daniel Kadavy 402-890-7946
My friend keeps saying that the only thing that is important about the issue in my short paper is the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the movement of large amounts of water should help with that because it would lower those levels because of increased plant life it would bring about. However, she doesn't see why the planet running out of carbon could be happening, if we are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. She said that I need to explain better, so here goes. When the last ice age ended, approximately 13,000 years ago the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was between 200 and 300 parts per million and now it has just reached 400 parts per million, so looking from most people's point of view my friend would seem right. but since most scientists who work on carbon loss due to sea life, and soil erosion, agree that about 10 gigatonnes of carbon are lost to the carbon cycle every year, that would mean that 13,000 years x loss of 10 gigatonnes =130,000 gigatonnes have been taken out of the planet's carbon cycle since the end of the last ice age and all the planet has left, is less than 46,000 gigatonnes these are the numbers that we are working with plus whatever amount that volcanoes have returned as carbon dioxide. What that number is, it is very hard to say there are no solid records other than what man has recorded for the last 2,000 years and what nature has left behind in the planet's crust. We know that there have been some very big volcanic eruptions in that time frame, but any guess on my part would seem unwise. But we do know that in the last 5 ice ages the time of each glacial period is about 6 to 10 times longer than the length between them which is called an interglacial period, which we are in one right now. So the only reason that we are not at the start of another glacial period is that mankind found an easy to get at a spare carbon tank called fossil fuels. But it seems that mother nature was pretty cheap with the spare tank because it only holds enough carbon to keep the planet rolling along for another 600 years. And by mankind's use of this "spare tank" is what has led to the 400 parts per million in the atmosphere, and had we not added this extra CO2 into the atmosphere we would be back into that glaciation period. But there are consequences to this extra CO2 besides the benefits of stopping us from entering into another ice age, and these are what concerns us now! Climate change and how each person thinks about this issue have had some of the most polarizing effects on much of mankind. From doom and gloom with no way out, to it is not happening, so don't make me lose my nice lifestyle for fake news. But what I'm proposing is really happening, and how to "fix" it does not in any way limit people's lives but instead opens up a completely new way of giving meaning and purpose to so many people with very little hope in this life, with all of the oppression that has been put upon them by their government and surrounding country's. So for a more complete explanation read my paper Life cycle of a planet Daniel Kadavy either on Google or on my blog.

How do you come up with 600 years as the time frame from fossil fuels?
ReplyDeleteIt is extimated that there is around 4000 gigatonnes of fossil fuel left in the world. (the vast majority of it is not oil or gas but some type on coal) The planet sequestration of around 10 gigatonnes of carbon, each year, but on average around 3 gigatonnes is returned by volcanic activity and other sources, each year. Meaning a net loss of only around 7 gigatones (best guess on average) per year. So 4000 divided by 7 equals 571 years. However the production of cement each year, produces around 25% of all carbon dioxide add to the atmosphere by using limestone as it's base ingredient, which by the way is the very largest lost of carbon on the planet by the death of massive numbers of shell fish each year!
