Global Warming and Climate Change and production of methane by life

Much has been made of the global warming caused by methane in the atmosphere caused by life itself. Has something changed in the amount of life on this planet that produces methane? probable not because of man's removal of native life such as termites, ants, wildlife around the whole planet is less due to their loss of habitat, so mankind could use that land for himself, there is less production of methane then before man started to influence the balance of gases in the atmosphere. Therefore if nature as a whole is producing less methane then before mankind, has the use of livestock tipped the balance upward from times past? Again probably not, the amount of land taken out of use by grazing animals is so many millions of acres that even the large cattle herds does not come close to measuring up to the grazing animal of past times. So if the production of methane can not equal past productions prior to man's arrival. then we should be able to discount the production of methane that is now occurring as having any impact on global warming more than prior to mankind's arrival. However, methane can be of great use, how you say, by its capture and use as a fuel source Let's say you live in a place that has termite mounds standing up high. How hard would it be to install a clear dome over it, so that you do not disturb the mound but since methane is lighter than air is, it will displace the air in the dome and a small solar-powered pump could be installed to turn on and off to remove the methane into holding tanks that could be used for cooking, heating, or any type of production of power, all for very little investment. The same could be used on any livestock facility that keeps livestock either temporarily as in milking barns, or permanently as in a hog, chicken, or turkey production facility! The important thing to remember that methane has very little smell, and can be violently explosive, so the need for all safety to be maintained! And the added benefit of when methane is burned, it turns into carbon dioxide which is 23 times less of a greenhouse gas then methane is. A win all around, so if someone wants to use this idea of doming, methane producing life, call me, we can work together on it, Dan Kadavy 402-890-7946 Feel free to call me. Cortland, Nebraska.

Global Warming and Climate Change} Lost of available carbon vs. too much C02 in atmosphere!

Global Warming and "The life cycle of a planet" By Daniel Kadavy  402-890-7946  Cortland Nebraska                                                                                                                                                                                                                The planet is running out of carbon, which is the mainstay of all life on the planet! Something has to be done to mitigate this. And yet Global Warming is changing ...

503 DIII Humanity is the only species that have to pay to live and survive. while there are a few exceptions to this rule, they are few and far between!

What does that say about how we live? It means that we have very little say in most aspects of our lives if we wish to live in a house, we must pay for that privilege with taxes, energy, insurance, maintenance, and keeping the standards that each place puts upon the owners, cutting grass, moving snow, and so many other requirements to fall within acceptable parameters of society! We must obey laws we may disagree with, nor have any input in their adoption or application! While there are many different arrangements of governments around the world, even the ones that are voted in or out of power by the masses are never truly fair in explaining to their constituents what they are going to attempt to do if elected! Yet this is the world we live in while we attempt to understand what 3.5 billion years of carbon sequestration have forced our planet to go through, including almost every single extinction event that has occurred in the history of our planet!  So the problem that we face is...

CCLXXIV Global Warming and Climate Change} Let's talk more, about the 50,000 gigatonnes of available carbon, that is left for all life on the planet!

First, how do scientist's come up with around 50,000 gigatonnes of available carbon left on the planet? Some of the amounts can be directly measured, how much there is in the atmosphere is one of the most researched numbers on the planet! That figure of 415 parts per million equals around 800 gigatonnes of carbon, in the form of carbon dioxide. 560 gigatonnes in plant and animal life are based on both satellite images for how much plant life is on the planet during the year and measurements that were taken by hundreds of people every year all around the planet. How much soil carbon, is taken by averaging soil carbon from all over the globe this amount is said to be 1,500 gigatonnes. The amount of "fossil Fuels" is the amount of "known" reserves found by mainly oil accompanying who has been looking as far and fast as they can, that amount is estimated at 4,000 gigatonnes (The carbon sequestrated in fossil fuels would only become available if mankind continues to ...
