The 6th Mass Extinction Event is here * Geologic History shows why CO2 caused Global Warming before Marc Haneburght
Published on Jun 1, 2017
Runaway Climate Change is causing exponential major flooding (happening now) due to more heavy rainfall on Earth, and are taking too much nutrients by rivers into the oceans, creating anoxia events.
A deadly purple sulfur bacteria. Too much is never a good thing. It's what made oil deposits happen in the past.
In the past the dinosaurs roamed the planet during the start of an extinction event, now it will be us. The next clever beings might learn in time what we did wrong, maybe not.
The planet might turn into Mars because of nobody being at the controls of nuclear power plants that will destroy the ozone with massive amounts of radiation.
Oceanic anoxic events or anoxic events (anoxia conditions) refer to intervals in the Earth's past where portions of oceans become depleted in oxygen (O2) at depths over a large geographic area. During some of these events, euxinia, waters that contained H2S hydrogen sulfide, developed. Although
anoxic events have not happened for millions of years,
the geological record shows that they happened many times in the past.
Anoxic events
coincided with several mass extinctions and may have contributed to them. These mass extinctions include some that geobiologists use as time markers in biostratigraphic dating.
Many geologists believe oceanic anoxic events are strongly linked to slowing of ocean circulation, climatic warming, and elevated levels of greenhouse gases.Global warming. The biggest story ever. Too big for the general public.
Agelbert NOTE: MUST SEE video!
To skip ancient history, begin at the 32 minute mark.This video is tremendously educational and instructive because it demonstrates exactly how our scientists accurately determined
CO2 levels in the distant past, as long ago as 200 million years, when today's oil deposits are believed to have been formed.
How did they do it?
They found 200 million year old fossils of a plant called a Ginko, that did NOT "evolve" AT ALL
, all the way to the present (
leaf structure is identical to modern Ginko leaves).
Permian Ginko leaf fossil on left - Modern Ginko Leaf on right
The Ginko has pores in the underside of the leaves. The number of pores it forms is a function, as has been determined by empirical evidence, of the available atmospheric
CO2. IOW, the more
CO2, the more pores.
The fossilized Ginkos leaf pore totals, exactly as the leaf pore totals of modern Ginko test plants grown in increasingly higher
CO2 containing atmospheres, evidence 4 times the
CO2 level of pre-industrial human civilization. THAT was an ice free world.
HOWEVER, that was NOT a "tropical paradise", as the fossil fuel fascist propagandist crooks and liars want you to believe.
Once the ice is GONE, some death dealing chemical processes begin until just about every macroscopic oxygen breathing life form is dead. It begins with the death of most of the species populating the Marine Trophic Pyramid. HOW?
When the ice is gone, the ocean currents that circulate oxygen throughout the oceanic depths in a 500 year cycle come to a HALT. This makes more and more parts of the ocean anoxic, so all the oxygen breathers die or flee closer to the still oxygenated shallows.
Meanwhile, the high
CO2 levels acidify the oceans, killing off the
Oxygen producing phytoplankton (
can't make their Calcium Carbonate structure - like mollusks also can't - despite having more CO2 "food" available) that had become widespread with the
early initial increase of CO2 levels (see massive algae blooms going on as we speak). The dead Phytoplankton begin to sink through the shallows, triggering bacterial feeding frenzy activity of a type of purple bacteria that decomposes phytoplankton, hates oxygen, but needs sunlight (it uses the sun but excretes
H2S - Hydrogen sulfide poisonous gas, not oxygen).
So
THEN the shallows become anoxic too. Then what is left of the oxygen breathers die. This not "just evolution", as the idiots who compare our fossil fuel based civilization's stupid and suicidal greedy activity to massive volcanic eruptions, as if humans have as little free will as a volcano, ridiculously claim. But the imbeciles who wish to perpetuate the fossil fuel burning status quo frequently resort to this craven attempt to avoid responsibility for the harm being done.
Allowing the
CO2 to get so high that it triggers the death of most marine life is
Genocidal Criminal Negligence. What just happened in the death of the Great Barrier reef is just the beginning of the heating process resulting from too much
CO2. There is still a lot of ice. There is still oceanic circulation and oxygenation.
But ALREADY, JUST THE HEAT is killing the most important marine life nurseries in the oceans.
SO WHAT, you might ask. The dinosaurs were around for millions of years. Don't we have lots of time too?
WHY?
Because the RATE we are putting
CO2 in the atmosphere is THOUSANDS of TIMES FASTER than when the massive volcanic eruptions caused
CO2 triggered extinctions!
When the ice is gone and that rotten egg smell from ubiquitous
Hydrogen sulfide poisonous gas reaches your nostrils, expect a VERY brief growth industry in canned oxygen.
But don't expect the
Fossil Fuel Fascist "industry" to admit they destroyed the biosphere for short term profit.
