Global Warming and Climate Change} Why now, and what are the chances?
When you really think about life on any planet, every time one extinction event happens, something is waiting in the wings, to take advantage of that for their own gain. And it always seems to be an upwards event, not life in a simpler form but in a more advanced form. The need for evolution to get more complex, seems to be hard-wired into nature, why, if all life required was to be, then would it not be advantageous to be simpler, not more complex. Take a horse for an example, It can survive almost anywhere on the planet as long as there is food to eat and water to drink, and other horses to continue their line. Why was it not at the pinnacle of evolution and then stop? Or perhaps a better question is why are their viruses on the planet especially ones that kill their host and by extension themselves or is the host's death a way of stopping an unwanted mutation of the virus from continuing to mutate in the wrong way so that the virus could not become a parasitic growth in the species of choice without damaging its host? If this is what should be the ideal outcome of any virus, trying to create an environment that offers it the best chance of survival in the long term! Or is the very reason that life keeps evolving, is that everything is trying to make itself more advanced than everything else, thereby keeping ahead of any changes that other types of life may bring forth? And does that also explain much of human behavior, toward the need to overcome others either by strength, intelligence, or absolute viciousness? Meaning that it is inherent in our biology, and not just for them, but for those that are willing to follow! My point on this whole reason why it is so hard to get people to even look, at other choices is because we are hard-wired to believe that the planet and life on this planet have to be eternal, not from mankind's point of view, but that life on this planet must simply keep going on, even if we do not! And no amount of math is going to persuade them otherwise. Because then we really do become a type of "god" in that we hold in our hands the whole planet's life! But this can never be the way to look at the problem of the loss of carbon needed for all life by the sequestration of that carbon. But how do you tell everyone that it is just a coincidence that everything just lined up for mankind to come riding in on a white horse to save all life on this planet at the "last second in terms of the geological time"? Maybe we do not tell them everything, (who would believe it anyway) we simply say that the cheapest and most cost-effective way to use up the extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, is the use of refugees to move water to clean up much of mankind pollution and use that water for replanting the arid and semi-arid areas of the planet! A very simple win-win-win for everyone involved, Or course how could we convince people that the simplest solution is the best one that the world leaders would ever pick?

So the question still remains, why did mankind appear at just the right time to first prevent the planet from entering into the next-last and neverending ice-age that should have started around 3,500 years ago, and now all these years later to start using long-term carbon storage both as energy and for the production of concrete? Which was necessary to maintain the balance between carbon-sequestration and carbon replacement back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide both from mankind and the plate tectonics of the planet! Just because other factors also need to be addressed such as the re-planting of the arid and semi-arid areas of the planet so that we can repair enough of the temperature-regulating-abilities of the planet, so that we do not need to walk that fine line of not enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and too much! Mathematically, if there was nothing but pure chance, that a species would develop at just the right time to prevent the next-last and neverending ice-age from occurring around 3,500 years ago and then increase in knowledge and need, to save all carbon-based life 3,300 years later, well we would have to be the luckiest planet in the entire Universe!!! But if species development is not just a random evolution but somehow designed to complement other species' needs and the planet's needs, then that changes everything. For myself the question of why we are here, both as a species and as an individual, perhaps this is the answer? It would make a great deal more sense than a supreme being that wants to test us to see if we deserve a better afterlife!
Does that answer the questions, perhaps not, but it is the best I can do. Dan
