Carbon Force

Hunger Can Cause Reduced Atmoshperic carbon dioxide?

Carbomer dioxide, believe it or not, is the life giving force on Earth. Nature depends on the basic chemical reaction of combustion: carbon, more oxygen for carbon dioxide to power all forms of life the planet. It's called breathing. Animals and plants breathe oxygen which reacts with the carbon in starch or sugar in living cells to form carbon dioxide exhaling carbon. The reaction is reversible with the Sun's energy in photosynthesis that converts carbon dioxide to starch, which is the food we eat and process releases oxygen into the atmosphere. In this way the Sun's energy is derived from food and our bodies are used with the help of the oxygen we breathe in. The entire and sole source of energy for all living beings is nothing other than the sun.
The total amount of coal mined from the atmosphere by photosynthesis growth of the plant is approximately 100-120000000000 tonnes of which 40 to 50 million tonnes is returned back as respiration of plants and animals and 50 to 60 million dollars from the bacterial activity in decomposing organic materials. The amount added from the burning of fossil fuels is only about 5.5 million tonnes.
The carbon dioxide concentration has increased in recent decades at about 1-2 ppm per year. It is now at about 380 ppm, or about 0.4% air. It is one of the constituents of what is known as the "Green greenhouse gases." Greenhouse Other important gases include water vapor, ammonia and nitrous oxide. These gases in the tropopause layer of the atmosphere which is about 30,000 feet above the ground, contribute global warming through its ability to reduce radiation from the Earth and they can contribute to global warming. The Intergovernmental Panel on Control Climate Change (IPCC) has determined its effect on the 1.6 watts per square meter. This is very small compared with the total power of 342 watts per square meter the sun. The amount of energy reflected back into space is about 30% ie 77 watts per square meter, which is 50 times more than the effect of greenhouse gases.
Prof. Stephen Salter of Edinburgh University has proposed a solution to global warming that involves the creation of low white clouds over the sea to reflect solar energy and reduce the amount of heat absorbed from the sun. The project activity may counteract the effect of increased carbon dioxide levels in the air.
Scientists have shown that the growth rate of plants depends on the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. The larger the carbon dioxide higher growth and vice-versa. The increased level of carbon dioxide is of great help in growing more food, although they may have an effect of global warming. Decrease in the level of carbon dioxide may lead to famine. EMAYA, the expert on climate change and global warming, has found a solution for the two opposing forces on the planet. How to stop global warming and continue to increase food production.
