Global Warming and Climate Change} Do we really see whats going on, or is the search for our wrong doing
Do we really see what is going on with the planet, or is our need to see mankind as nothing but a parasite on the planet, overshadowing our outlook of what life on this planet really is? When we look at a view of the planet from space, with no cloud cover, do we see that a very large part of the planet is already inhospitable to life! 25% of the land surface is desert or semi-arid, the whole landmass of the Antarctic is covered by a few million years of ice. 71% of the planet is covered with oceans, that only have life in abundance in the top 10% of its depth. Dig down 10 feet into the surface of the planet and life almost disappears. And yet you can uncover soils that have had ice covering them for thousands of years and the life that was there in terms of some mosses will act as if it had just come out of a long sleep! There really is so much life on this planet that simply will not be denied, even in the face of overwhelming odds. But so much of life is also very fragile, needing very exacting requirements for life. But when you go back in history long before man came on the scene, you would still see changes in life forms that keep pace with the changing makeup of atmospheric gases the two most important ones, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, and yet we have convinced ourselves that the plant life on this planet is quite happy with only 200 parts per million, yet when the first life on this planet started the atmosphere was almost all, some form of carbon! But without this carbon in the atmosphere life could not have existed at all. the sun was much too weak to heat the planet up enough, even to this day with the sun being 40% stronger than back then, without enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere the whole planet would simply be a giant iceberg! Only the internal heat of the planet would then allow some life, not quite sure what type, perhaps the worm-like creatures around the deepwater black smokers, needing neither sunlight, nor mankind to survive! But the plant life on the surface of the planet needs, both for its long-term survival! For in just a short while, in geological time, the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and in the oceans, will be used up by sequestration, and life on this planet will slowly vanish with life in a few spots, the same as the black smoker deep in the oceans! None of this will be caused by mankind's being on this planet, but only mankind's being on this planet, will this be able to be reversed.
