Oxygen

With all this talk about ‘Climate Change’ the concern of the planet getting hotter seems to be the focus.

Not to worry, there are air conditioners fueled by electricity fueled coal furnaces fueled by coal; a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock, formed as rock strata called coal seams. Coal is mostly carbon with variable amounts of other elements; chiefly hydrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen. Coal is formed when dead plant matter decays into peat and is converted into coal by the heat and pressure of deep burial over millions of years. Vast deposits of coal originate in former wetlands - called coal forests - that covered much of the Earth’s tropical land areas during the late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) and Permian times.

Now wait a minute.

There is Hydraulic fracturing is a well stimulation technique in which rock is fractured by a pressurized liquid. The process involves the high-pressure injection of ‘fracking fluid’ into a wellbore to create cracks in the deep-rock formations through which natural gas, petroleum, and brine will flow more freely providing more than enough oil and gas.

How about those windmills and solar panels? And what about all those electric cars? People are even recycling more plastics than ever before. 

All of this must be helping? Right?

When I was young hiding under my desk as all those atomic bombs were going off, I was worried that all those blast would shake the globe to get it out of orbit. Then I figured if we used all those bombs we’d all be goners and wouldn’t have to worry about anything else.

Then we started poking holes into the atmosphere (that little shell that keeps the clouds in) with all the satellites and I worried about us letting all the air out.

It is good to be concerned.

We can cut back on the plastic usage that is clogging our waterways and travel less saving emissions and hopefully grow more trees than we cut down. Feel proud to wear an “Earth Day” t-shirt.

Imagine this…

What if there was an end of Oxygen?

The air we breathe to survive.

Those with breathing problems will go first. As the air gets thinner birds will drop out of the sky. The beaches will be cluttered with our scaled forefathers and foremothers. Trees will drop their leaves and branches.

Automobiles and air conditioners won’t work.

It may become hot, but walking to the door will be as hard as running a marathon.

Then it will all be over.

There will be no winners.
