247 Global Warming and Climate Change} If what we do with water on this planet is so important, is that all we need to do?

No, it is not! Mankind has added around 150 parts per million of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, those numbers are adequate to replant as much of the planet as we need to in the short term, meaning for the next 50 or so years. No matter how fast we try and limit our use of material that produces more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and other greenhouse gases, we will still be increasing carbon dioxide levels into the future, if we can maintain those levels so that any extreme weather is kept to a minimum until new plant respiration begins to offset and reduce extreme temperatures, then we will be golden. This does not mean that we can stop what we call extreme weather events, but what we do will greatly impact them, both in their number and strength of such events! This planet is so large and interconnected on all fronts, not just atmospheric movements, but also ocean-currents, planetary cycles around the sun, and solar system, even increased or decreased solar radiation out-put, all can influence surface weather, (do not forget unusually volcanic events)! The best that we can do, will never be the best that we could do, or even the best that we will do! (try saying that five times quick) Let's say that we do well enough, that in 500 years we have made enough progress that all of our power needs are being met, there are very few arid or semi-arid areas left, we have helped balance the needs of the planet, can we just let go and the "Earth" will be able to maintain on her own? No, the planet has passed that point, too much of what is needed for carbon-based life to continue has been sequestered, only by mankind being able to balance what is locked away, with what is returned can life continue. Once mankind is no longer a viable and acting participant in all life on this planet, then most life on this planet will have an end date, depending on where and what each one needs for life! Mankind is really not a forward-looking species, maybe a few years, at most we can see where we want to be when we retire, we can write science fiction about the future, make a long term plan to go to Mars, but real change on how to improve mankind itself, no we are a species that believes in the "status quo"! Maybe baby steps are the best we can hope for? 402-890-7946, daniel.kadavy212@gmail.com  or read more at https://lifecycleofaplanet.blogspot.com  Thank you, Dan.

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 ...
