The book establishes the science, history and environmental effects of carbon dioxide. SCIENCE What is learned is carbon dioxide comes from animal respiration then it gets into the ocean and through photosynthesis from sun light turns into plant life only to be eaten by zoo plankton and when it dies its skeleton piles up on the shallow sea floor. It is over 3000 ft thick at places like Florida and Grand Canyon and all over the world. 97% of the worlds carbon is locked up in limestone and a little less than 3% in the deep ocean greater than 2000 meters as it is so cold limestone reverts back to liquid CO2. From earth tectonic movements where crusts merge the limestone enters the deep earth and is turned back into CO2 and in addition liquid CO2 bubbles up or forced up from offshore winds a phenomenon called upwelling. This is where 90% of our carbon comes from and only 10% from mankind. ENVIRONMENTAL The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is 380 parts per million while oxygen the inverse gas is 200,000 ppm. Its concentration is just too small to cause Global Warming. Warming is caused by energy reached from the sun. This varies depending upon earth and sun proximity and there are cycles running about every 110,000 years. HISTORY The Greenland Ice core layers go down 400,000 years and analysis of them as shown the past climates and concentration of CO2. Earth has largely been a ball of ice with a warming period lasting about 20,000 years like now then major cooling. POLITICAL FRAUD New trends to finance the electric car claiming it is green is a lie. Electricity comes mostly 40% from the dirtiest fossil fuel which is coal and has 50% more carbon footprint than natural gas. Electricity also comes from natural gas and 27% from nuclear and 6% from wind, solar and hydroelectric. RENEWABLE ENERGY The wind, solar and hydroelectric will never amount to more than 15% at most just too expensive. To run just 1200-watt hair dryer 24 hours a day requires 50 to 120x watt solar one meter square and can cost between $20,000 and $500,000 if you need to buy land in a suburb to accommodate them or to fix them for hurricane conditions. For every home to be able to increase their electrical power use say four times for electric cars will cost every homeowner $40,000 to help pay for the larger power plants and the larger power lines and structures or over 13 trillion dollars. Why go broke making the planet have more carbon in the air.
