Dear JBowyer,

I know you are keen to propagate the lies of your president but when you say; "and the enrichment of all the kids like Hunter Biden. Making literally billions of dollars from graft and corruption!" you are of course referencing Trump's rubbish claim that Biden "walk out of China with $1.5 billion in a fund".

Turns out it was complete rot and the entire fund of which Biden was one of several shareholders was worth just over $4 million.

The fact that you are swallowing the crap that Trump shoves down your throat on a daily basis doesn't mean you get a pity pass from the rest of us. We get to call it out.

SR and I get to call you out too. Who has made peace between Serbia and Kosovo? UAE and Israel? Oh yes you will say no that was Obama. You are a total dill mate. Your little mate Biden was actually boasting about getting a prosecutor fired. That's the prosecutor after little Hunter. You suffer total derangement and I cannot be bothered with you. He is not my president anymore than Biden shares his loot with losers like you, grow up!

Thank you for your question.

There are many natural sources of carbon dioxide emissions into our atmosphere, but probably the most significant one that contributes to a slow, long-term increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration is from our oceans.

There is a direct relationship between the average temperature of the ocean waters and the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, described by an accepted formula known as ‘Henry’s Law’.

As the oceans slowly cool, as they do under glacial conditions, CO2 is absorbed from the atmosphere and locked up there until it begins to warm up again.

During the cold glacial conditions experienced during the longer part of the ‘Ice Age’ cycle, atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide fall to an extent where plant life finds it difficult to survive (< 250 ppmv) and desert areas as a result increase substantially in size. These conditions can last from over 80,000 to some 120,000 years before the next Interglacial occurs.

We are very fortunately living in the Interglacial period during this current Ice Age and as a result the slow warming of the oceans means that there is a net release of carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. This will continue for as long as the oceans continue to warm.

This carbon dioxide increase is highly beneficial to plant life and biota that depend on it.
