461 "CDLXI" WITHOUT MANKIND ON THE PLANET, EARTH WOULD BE AROUND 3,500 YEARS INTO the next-last-and never-ending ice age!

    That is a bold, yet accurate statement! However, I seem to be the only one to understand this. Scientists call this action that has happened in the past "SNOWBALL EARTH" Each time that this has happened the plate techtonics of the planet caused huge amounts of sequestrated carbon to be brought back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, but this took millions of years to slowly warm the planet up! The internal heat of the planet has slowly decreased over time due to the breakdown of radioactive elements in the core of the planet. This in turn reduces the activity of the planet's plate techtonics, and the resulting volcanic activity is also reduced! This is where the Earth is at right now, even with the Sun putting out around 35% more energy than when carbon-based life first started, there simply was not enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at 200 parts per million to prevent ice ages from starting up again 2.5 million years ago. At the end of each ice age, there would always be around a 10,000-year interglacial period. Yet this last interglacial period has now lasted for around 13,500 years or 3,500 years longer than normal. Surely mankind was not using fossil fuels in any great amount 3,500 years ago. No, but they went from being hunter-gatherers and became agricultural-based to feed, clothe, house, and protect the ever-increasing population. This greatly speed-up the short-term carbon storage and also increases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by the removal of great tracks of trees, both for heating and to allow farming in large enough numbers to feed ever-increasing populations. We have seen the effect of large amounts of humanity dying both in Europe during the great black plague, and with the death of 50,000,000 indigenous people of North and South America from European-introduced diseases, in the 1600s and early 1700s. Each time that very large die-off of people that used agriculture to feed and clothe their people was followed by cooling trends in the Earth's climate until those areas were re-populated. 

    I can not emphasize enough the importance of mankind being on the planet for all carbon-based life to be able to continue for as long as mankind can remain as a viable species on Earth! Once mankind can no longer affect the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, natural carbon sequestration that has been going on for as long as carbon-based life has existed will continue to remove about 2 parts per million of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each and every year, until the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere reaches between 200 and 180 parts per million. Then the next-last-and-never-ending ice age will envelop the planet, first killing off C-3 plant life as carbon dioxide levels fall below 150 parts per million, then with not, enough available carbon dioxide left in the great waters of the planet, that normally is released from the evaporation of those normally high content carbon dioxide waters there is nothing that the planet has that will bring the Planet out of this last ice age. 

    When mankind started farming at high enough levels to extend the interglacial period past its normal length of around 10,000 years, this still would not have been enough to prevent the planet from sooner or later sequestrating enough carbon to push the planet into the next ice age, without mankind's use of creating concrete and using fossil fuels. The greatest area that sequesters carbon is not on the land but in the great waters of the planet. Life tries very hard to reuse as much available carbon as possible, but every second of every day some carbon is being removed from being available for life to use. 3.5 billion years ago there were around 200,000,000 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere and in the great water of the planet, now there are only 800 gigatonnes in the atmosphere and 39,000 in the oceans by the time you add soil carbon, plant and animal life and even including the 4,000 gigatonnes of fossil fuels there are less than 50,000 gigatonnes of "available carbon"!

     Only by repairing the planet's temperature-regulating-abilities can we prevent small changes in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from causing extreme temperatures and the resulting extreme weather. And the only way to repair the planet's temperature-regulating-abilities is by using all of the freshwater rivers of the planet for replanting as much of the arid and semi-arid areas of the Earth as fast as we can! 

     I do my very best to explain in simple language so that everyone can understand both the concept and the process needed to make those concepts a reality, but those of you who do download all of my posts and yet do not either engage me or pass on the information is doing such a great disservice to the rest of the planet! Yet I shall endeavor to persevere! So those who wish to call me once I take the cobwebs off of my phone. My phone number is 402-890-7946 Or those who wish to contact me via G-mail I will try not to delete you with all of the rest of the spam and for those trying to get me to buy things I do not need, please go to   daniel.kadavy212@gmail.com or for those who wish to read more of my awe-inspiring posts you may at https://lifecycleofaplanet.blogspot.com, For now, have a good night/day/where ever you are. Thank you, Dan
