Oxygen how much do we have left? 2
#22213955 - 09/09/15 07:42 PM (8 years, 4 months ago) |

So im curious, is there any research out there that tells us how much oxygen the earth currently has, and how low it has to get until we start dieing or having serious health problems?
I just find it odd that we are chopping down the amazon like there will be no consequences

Most of the oxygen supply comes from plankton and other photosynthizing microbes in the ocean

ive wondered this too, like people dont realize you burn one part liquid fuel with one part air, because fire needs oxygen.
so your saying theres enough oxygen being produced by plnakton for us even at the rate we exhaust it?
-------------------- its that bitter-sweet-sour, electric-smooth-twang. everything you ever have, are. or will feel along with every emotion, joy, hate, love, fear or aspiration burning down your nerves and into the fabric of your place in this existence at ten thousand degrees above and below zero will you find yourself wondering if you've been dead or alive this whole time. being born over and over only to die over and over hoping the wheel stops in the same place it started when you spun it, and when it finally does and you can step back and take a nice deep breath you realize how beautiful life is, remember, wake up to the most beautiful day of your life every single day, its just the way.

I knew plankton produced O2, but I thought I always heard that the amazon was "the lungs of the earth" I assumed they meant for air

but even if it is mostly plankton the question still remains, how much O2 do we have, how quickly is it going down, at what point do we start buying air at gas stations?

Nah, the amazon self proclaimed that slogan. Seems pretty arrogant if you ask me.

My guess is not any time soon.
The earth would wipe us out before we ever had a chance to destroy it's oxygen levels. The earth can take care of itself forever. Until the sun burns out or we get hit by a giant rock or something.

maybe, and that's a big maybe. but the only reason that might be true is because of all the seedlings planted. which don't produce a fraction of what those 500 foot giants in the amazon do, or all the ones we used to have that are gone now too

I think we have plenty
I mean I'm pretty much breathing the same way I was back when I was born
I'm gonna estimate our remaining air level at a healthy 84%

When they talk about CO2 levels being really high, it's still only a few hundredths of a percent of the atmosphere whereas O2 is about 21%. The increase in CO2 is not making a significant dent in O2 levels at all.

So does the oxygen in carbon dioxide not count? I'm terrible at reading between the lines.

Oxygen is constantly being supplied. Without photosynthesis the remaining oxygen wouldn't last very long most would be consumed reacting with organic material and weathering of rocks.

id just like to get the O2 levels back up to where they were when the dinosaurs were alive, so that we can start to grow bigger.
I was reading these news articles and they had a picture of an ice sheet in the ocean that was blue, and they said it was blue because of all the oxygen it contained, which made me wonder how much O2 we were getting from them as well. like once they finally stop melting maybe our o2 starts dropping really fast.
at anyrate id like to be as big as a T-rex one day, what about you guys?

oxygen in CO2 is it's lowest energy state and requires energy to break the bond. That is what photosynthesis is. Photosynthesis stores the energy as sugars, and that energy is returned when sugars are oxidized with oxygen.
