I've always found it terribly amusing that whenever the subject of air
pollution comes up, a huge majority of the population has this vision of
Earth suspended inside a sealed-up beach ball with a finite, unchanging
volume of "air" that must be conserved, at all costs, and totally
recycled for millions of years or we're all going to die.....a sort of
vacuum chambered Earth.

Nothing could be farther from the truth. Billions of tons of gas pour
off the nearest star and a tiny bit of it blasts the magnetosphere with
amazing array of highly charged ions, various gasses across the
spectrum, and free atomic elements like electrons, neutrons, etc.....24
hours a day for millions of years.

It gives you a little different picture, once you notice the TRAIL of
GASES streaming off the dark side of the planet into space. Look at the
dateline on this new article:

atmosphere.html

So, it appears we are NOT living in a sealed glass jar with the sun
shining in. It appears we are part of the vacuum-cleaner!

So, once we are outside the "Glass Envelope" thinking, wouldn't it stand
to REASON, something some find hard to do, that if we inject CO2 or any
gas into this DYNAMIC air that has new stuff blowing into it on one side
and stuff blowing OFF it on the other....Wouldn't THAT be the reason why
we're not choking to death on a billion or so years of various species
burning WOOD to keep warm spewing out tons of toxic CO2 for the plants
to turn into FOOD?!



There is some good news, if you plan on staying around:

Really not much different than the idea that the Earth as we know it now has
always been within a particular temperature range (comfortable to us) with a
specific level of glaciation (just enough, not too much, not too little)
with the coastlines just the way they are today.

Hey, we just came out of "The Little Ice Age" about 150 years ago. I, for
one, am happy as a clam that the Earth is getting a tad warmer.
Unfortunately, this, too, shall pass.
