Thread Name: BS: Where's the Global Warming
Subject: RE: BS: Where's the Global Warming
Now here is the story of one little carbon atom (trying to keep it simple here, let's not get into chickens and eggs please!!!!) He got ingested by Spock. Later Spock did a poo and then somewhere midst the biological confusion the little carbon atom (lets call him Cyril) got himself combined with some oxygen (Orville). Cyril and Orville and Oswald (now CO2) slowly escaped through the window and drifted haplessly towards the clouds. Just then it started to rain and Cyril, Oswald and Orville got a bit wet. Both Cyril, Oswald and Orville started to feel ill and very acidic because Henry and Olivia (H2O) had come along and changed them into carbonic acid! Bored with that now…. Anyway the carbonic acid fell as rain in the droplets and reacted with some silicate rocks in the mountains. The resulting chemical reaction caused the same little carbon atom to be drawn from the atmosphere into the dripping water from the rocks. This water ran into the stream, which ran into the river, which ran into the sea, that got buried in the estuary, which sank slowly into the abyss and there it stayed for 100 million years! That is the last we saw of Cyril.

This is a prime example of carbon drawdown. It is a negative feedback balancing a positive one. It is happening now. Especially on the Tibetan Plateau.... See More... See More

Cyril's demise is never mentioned again by emotive "global warmists". They forgot all about him. Poor Cyril!
Deep sea carbon atoms need love too
