Beautiful summary of how the carbon system interacts with so many aspects of the planet! Carbon traps heat, clouds and ice deflect heat, oceans and ocean life absorb carbon, as do forests and subsequently: all of life. The carbon amount in the atmosphere has been balanced such that life was able to flourish. Like a spinning top gently spinning with minor fluctuations. And while the amount has doubled and halved over the eons, the process has ever been gradual enough to allow the systems to re-balance to states that remained conducive to life. Events like volcano eruptions will temporarily rock the top, and the existing systems will re-balance the temporary spike, because they have the capacity to do so. If the amount of carbon suddenly increases, and keeps increasing without cease, then the systems that balance the levels will become saturated. Simultaneous disruptions to those systems - such as the centuries of deforestation and centuries of over-fishing the oceans - will reduce the saturation limit of the balancing systems, until finally... the spinning top starts rocking out of balance and finally falls over. And a spinning top cannot put itself back up. Once the cycle is broken, an entirely new cycle will start with the resources and systems that remain. Whether that cycle develops into a new balance, or spirals out of control, is anyone's guess for now. But it is very unlikely that such a new system will be conducive to life as we know it. _"What is 1 degree Celsius anyway?",_ one might ask. It seems like such a small amount. To raise the temperature of the atmosphere by 1 degree Celsius _globally,_ an amount of energy equivalent to 80.000 - 100.000 nuclear bombs is required (give or take), which is about one such bomb per visitor of our largest arena's. And we've raised the global temperature by 2 degrees Celsius, so far. The one-two degrees Celsius might not seem much by itself, but the vast amounts of energy required to get it that much warmer on a planetary scale are enough to feed ever more powerful catastrophic meteorological events, as well as their frequency of occurring. I believe that we've had an appetizer of such destructive power in the past two or so decades. The numbers by themselves might not seem to make much difference or sense, but understanding the grander scale and especially the limits of the systems that keep our living conditions in check is ever crucial for our continued survival, and the newborns of today will feel already the consequences throughout their lifetimes.

Earth is not like a machine. Earth is a living organism.😮

[@a.randomjack6661]

That's just "opinions'. I do see living organisms as biological machines that basically operate on physics and chemistry. If 'life" was so special, medicines wouldn't work, we would net need exercice and healthy food to keep the "machine" in good shape. No matter how closely and carefully you look, you won't find a single particle of Life. You will find protons, neutrons, their constituants, their rules, that's all.

[@TheUglyGnome]

Not quite. In order to be a living thing you must be able to reproduce. How many times you have seen the planet Earth to make a copy of itself?

[@a.randomjack6661]

@@TheUglyGnome So, a reproductible biological machine. Won't see that if you break it down to protons, neutrons, electrons and the four forces that makes matter/energy.

[@TheUglyGnome]

@a.randomjack6661 Excuse me, but what is your point? You don't even break it down to the basics. Neutrons and protons are not fundamental particles. Quarks are. And fundamental four forces do not make matter. Also, it is still debatable if gravity is a force at all, so there may be only three forces. But anyway. How is any of this related to the definition of life?

[@a.randomjack6661]

@@TheUglyGnome Life is just a more complex form of organized matter, 'Life" is a "consequence" a "process", not an ingredient. People get easily confused qith 3 flavors of quarks, or why it is when you turn a quark into energy, a new quark appears. Anyhoo, I forgot most of it. As for gravity, it's still listed as one of the four forces. It does modify spacetime, but we don't know how. It contracts spacetime and generates waves, isn't it like sort of a force?

When i first saw the preview of this on my lock screen, the entire thumbnail looked red for a split second

[@a.randomjack6661]

Yeah, some sort of thumbnail pollution from the Black Holes thumbnail.

21:00 what a load of rubbish !!! Do you people realize that you've been saying THIS for 100 years by now! 100 years!!!!! Isn't it ironic that you talk about the solar system "goldie zone" where water stays liquid when the Earth got completely covered in ice at least 3 times. How can you change subject from an extreme to the other and still ranting about climate change?

[@michaelhall2709]

Are you professionally stupid?

[@I77AGIC]

scientists can agree on this. but thanks to a certain political side... not everyone else can. it's pretty sad to see it go down this way.

Earth's magnetic field controls electric current grounding as frequencies vibrate towards the flow cycling circulation patterns of magnetic fields as synchronized force of pressure equalization throughout space. Magnetism bonding force of pressure grounding current. Mass is equal to distance traveling through space and force of pressure. Force of pressure is stronger at the core of the magnetic field, internal magnetic fields grounding surface mass towards the greater magnetic field cores. External magnetic fields don't ground at the center of galaxies. Equalization of equilibrium as external magnetic fields produces galaxies. Black spheres are external magnetic fields. The core is the strongest force of pressure in repulsion. As distance increases away from the core distance, traveling increases, and force of pressure decreases. Magnetic fields control the force of pressure in equalization to distance traveling through space in forward maximum momentum velocity in resistance within and without entanglement of mass. Hydrogen has the strongest magnetic field of force flow. As mass expands in the accumulation force of pressure equalization and traveling through space, its magnetic field weakens in equalization. Stars decay as waves of dark energy outside of entanglement of mass. Once these waves hit mass and become entanglement with quantum magnetic fields, their force and distance traveling equalization begins. Hurricanes equalization of pressure in resistance to cold space itself within and without entanglement of mass equalization. Magnetism bonding force of pressure and distance traveling equalization. Force reduction to equalization of forward momentum traveling. Mass is always equal to repulsion within and without entanglement. Pure cold repulsion is unoccupied space itself without dark energy within its nucleus or core. Theoretically factual probability that works with quantum physics without gravity. Friction is frequencies micro and macro. Equalization of pressure in resistance to distance traveling through space. Dark energy is free-flowing energy outside of entanglement. Distance is maximum momentum velocity in resistance. Conservation of maximum momentum velocity in resistance is constant cosmic speed limit in and out of entanglement of mass. Distance is the cycling or rpm. Internal magnetic fields cycling circulation grounding surface current towards the core of maximum force. External magnetic fields don't ground and are free-flowing energy cycling around these spheres of absolute zero. Normal space itself has waves of dark energy outside of entanglement throughout space. External magnetic fields don't ground because the flow of current is outside of the nucleus and not through it like internal magnetic fields grounding surface mass as force of pressure known as weight. Mass outside of a greater magnetic field is outward pressure known as weightlessness. Magnetic fields synchronizantion of flow bonding from unification of unidirectional flow cycling circulation patterns of mass. Internal magnetic fields. Magnets show the bonding power and repulsion of the power of unification of unidirectional flow. Mass is currents of energy flow. We flow as current grounding to the weakest point of repulsion. Earth's surface. Theoretically factual probability that works with quantum physics without gravity. Glue is grounding or bonding force of pressure as current. Energy flows through all mass and space except for black spheres of absolute zero repulsion as external magnetic fields that disrupt internal magnetic fields that repel their currents towards the weakest point of repulsion back onto the greater free-flowing energy outside of entanglement of mass. Hurricanes in space are external magnetic fields that don't ground themselves with pure repulsion cores and repulsion from normal space filled with dark energy outside of the free-flowing energy around these spheres. Galaxies expand around these magnetic fields as they reach equilibrium. Equalization of pressure stops disolving internal magnetic fields by not equalization of force flow. Internal magnetic fields overcome the external magnetic fields ability to attract energy flow. They no longer expells their energy cycling circulation. Theoretically factual probability that works with quantum physics without gravity.
