Earth Is Infected With Humans

Years of pollution by dumping wastes into the waters and filling the skies with carbon dioxide have had a direct impact on the planet. The Earth is warming at an alarming rate and entire animal ecosystems are being destroyed. Humans have adapted their surroundings to suite their needs instead of adapting to suite their surroundings and by doing so have doomed the entire planet. The most intelligent species on the planet has brought about the destruction of the earth.
The ocean and atmosphere create an extremely complex system of heat and carbon management. With the advent of the industrial revolution and the creation of automobiles the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased drastically. Never before in the history of planet earth have carbon dioxide levels raised so drastically. Increased CO2 levels threaten to put the carbon cycle out of balance.
The carbon cycle is a complex exchange and movement of carbon from the atmosphere, crust, ocean and space. Carbon undergoes various chemical and physical changes to make the transition to and from each reservoir. The earth’s ocean holds the most amount of carbon, approximately 36,000 gigatonnes, which is readily exchanged with the atmosphere. Carbon from the deep sections of the ocean do not enter the atmosphere as regularly because the cool temperatures on the oceans bottom. This storage of carbon significantly slows the effects of global warming.
There are many ways the oceans acts as a “sink” for carbon dioxide. At the north and south poles the water becomes much cooler allowing carbonic acid to be formed. The dense ocean water on the surface then gets transported and stored in the deep ocean by means of the thermohaline circulation. Micro-organisms are also able to create their shells out of the carbonates in the sea water. When the organisms die their shells float down to the deep ocean floor to be stored.
