GlobalWarming and Climate Change} Now the math, for how to repair the planet's temperature regulator!

We need to have simple math so that everyone can follow how to fix this problem, so there will be no square root, or pi, no algorithms, just adding, subtraction, multiplying, and dividing! So here goes, since the start of the current ice age that we are in right now, (right now we are in an interglacial period, but with so much ice being staged on the planet right now we technically are still in the present ice age that started around 2.5 million years ago.) At that time there were very little arid or semi-arid areas, mainly these were caused by mountain ranges such as the Himalayas in central Asia which prevented moist airflow on one side of the mountains, or another and even this areas were much smaller than now, they were not caused by low carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As each ice cycle progressed trees died, arid and semi-arid areas increased and the ocean levels fall, until a tipping point comes where carbon sequestration from the land is offset by the creation of desert, the decomposition of dead trees, and the release of vast amounts of carbon dioxide from the falling oceans. And the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere becomes high enough to warm the planet and makes the glaciers retreat! As these glaciers receded, they uncover even more decaying organic life that brings more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere hastening the ice melting. An interglacial period has arrived but is much shorter in length of time than the period of time for when the ice advances, and this is because of carbon still being sequestrated reduces the atmospheric carbon dioxide faster than the lowering of the oceans replenishes it. Each cycle sees larger and larger arid and semi-arid areas until modern times where these areas now make up around 25% of the land areas of the planet. The two largest deserts are the  Arctic, and the Antarctic, both of these still have all of there organic material locked away under all of the ice that has been covering them for millions of years. but the rest of the planet's arid and semi-arid areas has lost most of their organic material back into the atmosphere. All of this unprotected land equals around 16% of the surface of the planet. so if you take 1500 gigatonnes of carbon in the soils of the planet and 560 gigatonnes in all plant and animals, 1500+ 560=2060/84=24.52gigatonnes of carbon on each of the 1% of the surface of the planet (only an average) that is not desert, meaning that with time, the last 16% of the surface of the plant could store another 16x24.52=392gigatonnes of carbon. That would lower the 800 gigatonnes in the atmosphere to 408 plus whatever mankind has added to the atmosphere of the planet in the 30 years or so that it would take to reach this level of replanting estimated at 6 gigatons per year at current levels meaning 30x6=180+408=588 gigatonnes making the part per million in the atmosphere around 294 (800 is to 400 as 588 is to 294). Not quite as high as I would deem necessary for good crop yields. but would be an excellent starting point for helping the planet in both temperature regulation and keeping the necessary carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere.

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 ...
