Global Warming and Climate Change} Now the planet is running out of carbon, so why not simply add it?

If only it was that simple, the planet has changed so much since the start of the present ice age that we are in. Around 2.5 million years ago the planet entered into its current cyclical nature of having more or less ice on the planet. There are two main parts to this reoccurring cycle, the first will last up to 100,000 years as the great sheets of ice descend on much of the planet due to low carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, many people have been taught about "Milankovitch oscillations" and say that is why there are times of lots of ice and times of less ice being staged on the planet. There is some truth to this, but only on when the growth of ice starts and ends. If we are receiving more sunlight from the sun, then ice begins to grow when carbon dioxide reaches only 180 ppm when less sunlight is hitting the planet then ice growth begins around 200 ppm. The reverse is true, for when ice begins receding. The second part of the cycle is usually only 10,000 years long, this time is referred to as an interglacial period. It is of much shorter duration than the first part, the reason for that is, the only way to increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is by the slow lowering of the planet oceans, this releases some of the vast amounts of carbon that is stored in the oceans back into the atmosphere. But the interglacial period is so short because carbon is consistently being removed, by limestone production in the oceans by the death of mass amounts of shellfish, and by soil erosion on land. Water, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and plant life, are tied together. Places that received plenty of rainfall will be able to sustain plant life at lower concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, than places that are limited in rainfall. Since the start of the present ice age we are in, deserts and semi-arid places have been increasing to the point that now around 25% of the planet is considered arid or semi-arid. But this made plant life on the rest of the planet possible. C3 plants which are by far the most common plant on the planet, have a limit, based on water availability and the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Around 150 parts per million, C3 plants start to die regardless of how much moisture is available. C4 plants, and Cam plants will survive much lower levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but that does not help animal life that depends on C3 plants to eat, as does mankind. So with the death of much of plant life in the arid and semi-arid areas of the planet, this increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, for the rest of the planet. So the creation of so many deserts actually allowed plant life to continue elsewhere. But this increase in arid and semi-arid areas had a big downside to the planet also. The planet lost quite a bit of its ability for temperature regulation, Cloud Cover! Plantlife and its respiration allow a lot more clouds to form all over the planet, which plays a very large role in keeping temperature extremes from happening, with its ability to reflect much of the sun's ray's back into space, and their ability to keep the warmth that has been generated on the surface, on the surface. Weather extremes are caused by temperature extremes, cold air meeting hot moist air, equals storms, warm air meeting warm moist air, equals nice rains. But with much less cloud cover over the planet, an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere converts sunlight into heat both because of the greenhouse effect, but also the heat generated by sunlight hitting sand and rock in the arid and semi-arid areas of the planet during the day. But at night that same heat is lifted off of the planet with no cloud cover to hold it in place, creating more temperature extremes with winds moving this hot and cold everywhere. Only by recreating plant life over arid and semi-arid areas and bringing back the temperature regulating cloud cover that comes with vast amounts of plant life and respiration. Can the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere be allowed to return to the levels prior to the start of the glaciers cycle that we are in? Once the majority of the planet is replanted, which will require all of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that mankind has added, to even come close to doing so without allowing the carbon dioxide levels to drop too low to maintain both the crop yields and necessary plant coverage. For increasing the planet's temperature- regulating-ability of the planet back to where carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may fluctuate within a much larger range without the planet again experiencing temperature extremes that trigger extreme weather!
