Global Warming and Climate Change! Perpetual motion is impossible even on a planetary scale! This is "NOT" a letter about denying climate change, but how to repair it correctly!

Perpetual Motion is impossible, early on in their education every scientist is taught this fact! But when it comes to our "Planet," they all seem to have forgotten this detail, and they can say that there is an excellent reason for that, the planet has had life on it for billions of years, so it must somehow be able to overcome, this problem, perhaps the sun with its endless energy as an outside source does that! The fact is that the planet has had both several major extinction events, and many minor extinction events, due to this problem of perpetual motion! All were caused by changes in the planet's atmosphere! Life itself, is what normally changes the atmosphere and the gases that it contains, These gases are what life has to use, nothing is ever perfectly recycled! Over time, everything changes, but it can take millions of years to do so, and this gives life a chance to adapt to those changes, but even this is a continuing process, change never stops because life never stops. Did I just say that, there is that "perpetual motion" problem again? Mankind is a short-lived species, compared to how long it normally takes for the atmosphere to cause any noticeable change to occur, 70 to 80 years is an average life span, and we have very short collective memories, that is one of the reasons for wars after wars. And why mistakes in the past are so often repeated, we are all just like teenagers who feel we know everything and that their parents do not understand them and any wisdom that they may try to offer, is no longer relevant to them "here and now". We do the very same thing as we all grow older, and this is "why" it is important to remember the "perpetual motion" is impossible! How is that relevant to the Global Warming and Climate Change problems that we are now facing? THAT IS THE 10 BILLION DOLLAR QUESTION? Global warming and climate change are only the outward symptoms of a much bigger problem, "CARBON SEQUESTRATION" over the last 3 billion years of carbon-based life on this planet! As with any "disease", the symptoms need to be treated to make life bearable, but they must be treated in such a way as to also start to solve the greater danger to that very life! Most major and minor extinction events take millions of years to come about, this one that I am talking about has actually taken over 3 billion years, but mankind has only been on this planet between one and two million years and only in the last couple of hundred years could we have started to understand the true nature of the planet. We are really doing pretty good, but we are too fixated on ourselves, and how many of us, consider us, to be the planet's greatest enemy, when in reality we are its only solution! Let's go back in time to around 3 million years ago, the level of Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was no longer high enough for there to be abundant C3 plant life on the whole planet, something had to give, so areas that also had other limiting factors for C3 plant life such as lower rainfall levels or either higher temperatures or lower temperatures, these areas were the first to lose C3 plant life and became arid or semi-arid! This freed up the carbon dioxide that had been both in the plants themselves and in the soils of those areas and so for a while temperatures remained high enough to prevent much ice from being staged on the planet, but as carbon sequestration still took away that needed carbon, the temperatures of the planet dropped and the planet entered into an ice-age that was cyclical in nature, meaning that ice would increase being stated on the planet until enough carbon dioxide was released from the lowering oceans to start the slow process of warming the planet to cause the ice to retreated but never leave entirely, and these "inter-glacier periods" would only last about 10,000 years, while the period of ice was much longer from between 40,000 and 140,000 years. This went on for the next 2 1/2 million years until around 13,000 years ago when mankind entered the scene and with a high enough population and the ability to control both fire and start the process of agriculture, with increased the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enough to "NOT" allow the next and what would have been a neverending ice-age! This is the gist of the problem, think of each period of when ice is being stated on the planet as a slow giant pump that is taking enough carbon dioxide out of the oceans of the planet as those water are being converted into ice and in the process releasing its store of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This amount has to not only replenishes the low levels in the atmosphere, but it had to off-set, the amount that was being sequestrated each year. This amount is considered to be a loss of 10 gigatonnes per year, while it is estimated that the planet returns around 3 gigatonnes on average each year, by the movements of the great plates of the planet that brings some of that sequestrated carbon into contact with a high enough energy or heat source to be returned as carbon dioxide. Meaning that with 10 gigatonnes being sequestered each year and 3 gigatonnes being returned on average for a net loss of 7 gigatonnes and this has been happening for much of the length of time that life has been on the planet, (when life was in full abundant, both how much was being sequestrated and how much was being returned were greater amounts, because the internal heat of the planet was higher and therefore more active plate movements would have been expected.) These are the hard to believe numbers of how much carbon has been sequestrated since this planet has entered into the ice-age that in theory, we are still in, 2,500,000 years times 7 gigatonnes per year equals 17,500,000 gigatonnes of carbon that was once stored in the only place on the planet that had the capacity to do so, the great oceans of the planet, and sciences best estimate is that it now, only has around 39,000 gigatonnes left, not even if all of the waters of the planet were evaporated to make ice there be "NOT" be enough carbon dioxide to take the planet out of the next ice-age if it were to ever happen! Since life started on this planet it has sequestered carbon away from the very life that needs it there are now over 100,000,000,000 gigatonnes of carbon-bearing rock (one gigaton is 1 billion tons) all over the planet. The planet will never run out of carbon, you can not destroy carbon, but plant life simply can only use carbon in "ONE" form, as carbon dioxide, and it has to be as a gas in the atmosphere. Only mankind and no other species on the great planet can convert limestone back into carbon dioxide as we do when we manufacture cement and other uses that we use limestone for. Knowing all of this means that we can now start to ask the correct questions in how to repair this planet, and at the same time remove the symptoms of the great problem, those symptoms are Global Warming and Climate Change. These symptoms are caused by the creation of arid and semi-arid areas of the planet, that were directly and indirectly caused by the lack of enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for there to be abundant C3 plant life over the whole planet! Meaning that "WE" mankind needs to replant those areas and the only way that can be done is by using all of the rivers of the fresh waters on the planet to do so, what this will do is two major requirements, first, it will remove the "now" excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and two, it will recreate the plant respiration that use to be in these areas, re-creating cloud cover which leads to rainfall and a tropical forest like conditions!
