000 The lifecycle of a planet, Or how cause and effect, may destroy a planet's life.
The Life Cycle of a Planet. Or how cause and effect, causes a planet to die billions of years before the Star giving life to it, would have caused the planet to be destroyed!
All life has some type of intelligence, be it the simple need to survive by going where it needs to be to get the energy needed for its existence. Or the more complex need that predators have to surprise their prey. No life, just is! All life has both, some type of defense and offense that interacts with its surroundings Many live in the environment as they find it, but many find that their survival depends on changing their surroundings, to increase their chances and their offspring’s chances, Sometimes these needs, does change the environment, that others have to deal with. This could be as simple as pine trees causing the earth they live in to become more acidic so other plants can not survive in those soils. To certain rodents making such large burrows, that can cover 100’s of acres so that land animals will avoid those areas to prevent injury to themselves, leaving the grasses there uneaten, for the rodents protection and as a food source. Beavers are some of the most avid creatures to change their environment, not just to make a better place for them to live, but their changes will affect many others' lives too. It is even believed that many of our great cities were founded where beavers had lived for many generations giving man a tree-free meadow that was deep in silt, left there because of the dams that the beavers built, and raising the land many feet over long periods.
Each step that nature makes, in its effort to improve and adapt to the changing conditions on the planet, has brought changes that have had lasting effects, on most life on this planet. I like to think that mankind is part of nature, and not just a plight on the planet as many people will have you believe. For the planet has entered, without human intervention, its final attempt to keep some life on this planet for as long as it can, by reducing that very life. It has done this by concentrating life on the most fertile parts of the planet where there is ample sun and water. The limiting factor of plant life is and has been the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Levels below 180 parts per million will trigger the next and last ice age. Levels below 150 parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will cause the death of most plant life, and therefore all animal life!

Mankind is the only species on this planet that can prevent this from happening. Carbon
sequestration by soil erosion and sea life over the lifetime of organic life on this planet has caused the available carbon dioxide to be turned into non-available carbon, in the form of limestone and other carbon-bearing rocks, or buried so deeply under sediments at the ends of rivers that it cannot be returned. Only when these areas come into contact with volcanic activity can they be vaporized back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide! Not since the supervolcano that we now call Yellowstone National Park in America. Has there been enough volcanic activity to return more carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere over a several-year period? Then the planet has sequestrated during that same time frame!
