Regulation of Carbon Dioxide Levels and Extreme Temperature Conditions


Introduction: Understanding the natural regulation of carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels and the extreme temperatures found in various environments provides significant insights into Earth's atmospheric dynamics and potential implications for other planets like Mars. This paper explores how natural photosynthesis regulates CO₂ levels, the impact of high CO₂ concentrations in polar regions, and the atmospheric conditions on Mars.

Photosynthesis and CO₂ Regulation: Natural photosynthesis plays a crucial role in regulating CO₂ levels in Earth's atmosphere. Plants absorb CO₂ during the day, maintaining concentrations as low as 2 parts per million (ppm) to ensure a balance essential for life. This regulation is a result of evolutionary processes dating back to the Cretaceous period, which saw significant changes in atmospheric composition and temperature.

Polar Regions and Extreme Conditions: In the polar regions, particularly during winter, CO₂ levels can drop to around 4 ppm - twice the temperate level. The Antarctic ice cap experiences some of the lowest natural temperatures on Earth, reaching down to -80°C. These extreme conditions are a result of limited sunlight, which restricts photosynthetic activity, and the formation of ice, which traps gases and reduces atmospheric CO₂.  Lack of photosynthesis increases CO2 to 4PPM

Mars and Atmospheric CO₂: Mars presents a stark contrast with its atmosphere composed of approximately 95-96% CO₂. Despite this high concentration, the thin atmosphere and lack of other greenhouse gases result in an average temperature of -170°C, with even colder extremes. The Martian atmosphere demonstrates that CO₂ alone is not sufficient to warm a planet significantly; other factors such as atmospheric pressure and the presence of additional greenhouse gases are crucial.  Or more solar radiation.

Methane and Climate Dynamics: Methane (CH₄) is a potent greenhouse gas, although it is not a direct byproduct of photosynthesis. It is produced through anaerobic processes and has a much higher global warming potential than CO₂ over short periods. In Earth's atmosphere, methane eventually oxidizes to form CO₂ and water vapor, contributing to the greenhouse effect. However, trace amounts of methane detected on Mars suggest potential geological or biological activity, further illustrating the complexity of planetary atmospheres.

Conclusion: The regulation of CO₂ through natural photosynthesis, the unique conditions of Earth's polar regions, and the atmospheric characteristics of Mars highlight the intricate balance and variability of planetary climates. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for addressing current climate challenges and exploring the potential for life on other planets.

CO₂ during the day around the temperate earth limited to just two parts per million.  Mankind's carbon emissions represent just 0.0002% of the carbon dioxide breathed out by animals.  Converted into the carbohydrates of plant biomass within 5 minutes.

Crucially removing them the carbon dioxide from the air.  Biology fixes the climate every day for free.  Man made global warming was the fictitious invention of a nuclear power, trying to justify its own hyper toxic and an insurable existence.

Every uranium nuclear power plant know knees annual insurance cover of 100 billion.  Not available commercially.  Burning the fossil fuels fus active biological life on earth today.  The fossil fuels were active biology in prehistory.

Like in the Jurassic.  And there was 85% more biological life on earth.  Sea levels were 60 metres lower in a warm period.  When there was four parts per million carbon dioxide in the air.

There were three natural ice ages.  One lasting a record 1000 years.  With eight parts per million carbon dioxide in the ice age Jurassic air.  Go taught to biology about the carbon cycle!

Which is why biology has never believed that mankind has any effect on the climate.
