oils can also eat or release carbon depending upon their condition under heat

variables. This is due to carbon deposits from plant life.

The carbon-eating and oxygen-producing plankton in the oceans. If

the oceans absorb too much carbon from global warming, they become acidic—
specifically carbonic acid. This acidity will eventually kill some or all of the carbon-eating
and oxygen-producing plankton. If we kill off this necessary plankton, we will find
ourselves with insufficient oxygen in a world no one will be able to endure.

The carbon and methane-releasing volcanoes. Sustained large-scale

volcanic activity can drastically affect the environment. If the volcano is large enough,
such as with a supervolcano, the eruption could actually cool the planet and create two
or three years of nuclear winter. Such a development creates its own extinction-level
destruction in the form of severe negative impacts on agriculture and other living
systems.

The climate also has systems that produce, reflect, or absorb heat. These systems can
also raise or lower global temperature. Some of the climate’s heat-producing, reflecting,
or absorbing systems and subsystems are:

The total amount of heat-increasing water vapor in the atmosphere.

Atmospheric water vapor is the most important human-caused greenhouse gas
increasing atmospheric temperature. The higher the temperature, the more water vapor
escapes into the atmosphere from evaporation, turning this cycle into a vicious self-
reinforcing positive feedback loop.
he following graph demonstrates that carbon has been rising in the atmosphere long
before 1960. With the introduction of fossil fuels, carbon began rising at the beginning of
the Industrial Revolution around 1880.

In the graph below, you will notice that the curve of carbon increasing in the atmosphere
proceeds from about 1880 to 1950 in a gradual linear progression. From 1950 to 2000
and beyond, carbon increases in the atmosphere in a far steeper, more exponential
curve.
