Here are the contributions from the second week of our Against “Climate Change” series: Enemies of the People: Greta Thunberg Our Editor, Michael Walsh: Heisenberg's Revenge In honor of the widening fronts in the war against "climate change," the-Pipeline.org
The oceans cover 71% of the Earth's surface and in the oceans are phytoplankton . Phytoplankton is like bacteria but it photosynthesises to produce carbohydrates and free oxygen. Phytoplankton produces 60% of the free Oxygen in the atmosphere far more than all the terrestrial vegetation. Much of the oxygen produced by forests is taken up by the decomposers ( worms , bugs, fungi, bacteria, slimes etc ) on the forest floor . Not only does phytoplankton return free oxygen to the atmosphere but it is the keystone species for all the food chains in the oceans.
Australia had severe bush fires three years ago and within 8 months, phytoplankton in the Pacific and Southern Oceans had taken up the ash ( nutrients) and the CO2 from the fires.
Science has become the Tower of Babel , nobody talks to other scientists not in their field. Climate scientists need to talk to biologists, ecologists, marine scientists, geologists etc. The Earth is a complex integrated system not the simple box that climate scientists pretend .
