Is the world's oxygen running out ?

By T.K. Randall

Salesman have used declining oxygen levels as an excuse to sell oxygen supplements - but how much truth is there to it ?
It is true that human activity is causing a steady, measurable decline in the oxygen content of the world's air, although as yet this decline is negligible.

Surprisingly the concentration of atmospheric oxygen has declined in tandem with the rise in atmospheric CO2. Evidence of the CO2's origin. I am not worried about this side of things though as O2 is far more plentiful than CO2. Br Cornelius I've been re-thinking some of my past posts. In the past I have supported cap-and-trade - that is, until I discovered that IT'S NOT WORKING. Japan, a country that has made major efforts to reach it's Kyoto greenhouse goals, failed to reach it's target by about 15%. Nobody else came that close. Why doesn't it work? One reason: governments issue fake carbon c... [More]

The day will come when the Japan 9.0 Earthquake and Tsunami of 2011 will look like a kitten compared to a Lion when Greenland ice weight is lifted enough. No one will want to be by the North Atlantic Ocean Coast Line that Day. Or large water ways that lead into the North Atlantic Ocean. Read well and study on your own after you have read this. This is not a game or joke our Sun gives off a Solar Wind all day year round if you live in the State of Alaska you see it in the sky above what a sight it is going through our Earth’s Magnet Polls of the North and the South, North Poll.

The Bad Weather Storms now are Babies compared to what is to come. There have been some monster storms in the past. The winter of 1886 killed tens of thousands of cattle across the northern Great Plains. 7000 died in the Cherokee Strip alone. Ranchers whose herds had thousands of cattle a year earlier were reduced to scavenging bones to sell for fertilizer. Hundreds just packed up and moved east, abandoning their land. At that time, the old soddy houses were being replaced by new clapboard houses made of wood. The wood houses weren't well insulated. Whole families froze to death in them, while... [More]

Japan, a country that has made major efforts to reach it's Kyoto greenhouse goals, failed to reach it's target by about 15%. Nobody else came that close. Why doesn't it work? One reason: governments issue fake carbon credits to special interests - credits that aren't backed by genuine conservation measures. That's like counterfeit money - nothing backs it, so it's worthless. Another reason: exemptions in the laws. Some industries simply don't have to go b... [More]

A solar panel 100 x 100 miles long in the Mojave Desert could replace all the coal burned to generate electricity in the entire U.S. We allready have the technology to decrease a hugh amount of the CO2 added to our atmosphere. In Denmark we have an island called Samsø. They generate 150% free energy, its CO2 neutral!!! Soon the rest of Denmark will try to follow this great example, but what about the rest of the world? The problem isn't that we can't do anything about it, the problem is no one want to do anything about it! Goddamn right! What technologies are beeing used in Samso? I would als... [More]

Goddamn right! What technologies are beeing used in Samso? I would also add that yes, we can do something about it. The only thing is that many people (mainly fossil fuel industries) will invest rediculous amounts of money to fund dis-information campaings, often ruled by very well known and reputable scientists that allegedly "sell their soul" to them. Their most effective weapon is doubt. Peace.

I just have a feeling this not the first time earth was destroyed and re-created.. and I wonder if its because when everyone gets so corrupt its like starting fresh.. interesting.. All The Glory Belongs To God Forever! I don't think the earth has ever been destroyed, at least not in this current ongoing universe and time frame. There's a diffrence between life extinction and the destruction of a planet. Besides, out of spiritual views, I don't think anybody but ourselves are judging. I think all the negativity that we are fed is part of the evolutionnary process of the soul. We know what's goo... [More]

We know what's good and what's wrong. We have the choise to go either way. Everyone of us. Peace. maybe i shouldnt say earth..just people.. just thinking about it..lol. no big deal.
