Plants take in CO2, and excrete O2: So CO2 is the gas of life, and O2 is their waste. In the Cretaceous, plants hit a brick wall! Green plants had evolved with CO2 at 40%. Now they could only take in during the way, what they respired at night – when they combine O2 with their carbohydrates to get at the residual fusion energy. The plants only got out of the problem, as animals evolved to take in O2, and respire with plant material, and produce CO2. You see plant metabolism is powered by molecular nuclear fusion! During the day they do CO2+3H2O-->He+CH4+O.+E1 where E1 is the release of energy from biological molecular nuclear fusion! Then at night O2+Cm(H2O)n+mO2-->mCO2+nH2O+E2 where E1 is 100 times greater than E2. So life is driven by molecular nuclear fusion! All life on Earth does it: Either to build carbohydrates, or the slow burn of combining them with O2. Your own blood system and heart do it. That is why you breathe out He and CH4, and produce Gamma Wave Radiation – as do plants in the light, and with growing bacteria. Water falls and breaking waves do H2O+O2-->He+O3+E3 The He is lost to space, but we can swell the ozone, and detect the water HEATS up by 20 C as it falls through the air. The deep does both sorts of molecular nuclear fusion. Moist air does the latter – in the light. So 60% of the heat the Earth gets is from molecular nuclear fusion. So how best for man to do it – after all water falls are not very practical! Go talk to an engineer. As a Na fluorescent works, it gives off heat and nuclear radiation, as it slowly uses up its Na gas! We get Na-->2Be-->4He-->8H-->light+E4 So a better light would be charged with H only, but there we produce so much heat, we melt the tube even at low H pressure. So we copy life at hot smokers. Where we do the H2O+O2-->He+O3+E6 But the E6 is so large we set up a steam plasma. And this does loads of molecular nuclear fusion! Though not as much as a H plasma. So we generate 800C heat from steam bubbles, so free. We set up a steam plasma in a glass tube. Then we need a far smaller charge and voltage to maintain the plasma! Na fluorescents use a capacitor to start the plasma, then mains power to maintain the plasma. A lightening bolt is a current discharge as the down stroke: A 1.5 km discharge requires 5,000 V and 100 amps to spike a bolt through moist air. Incidentally, the colliding water drops do the H2O+O2-->He+O3+E3 type of molecular nuclear fusion. This sets up a 1.5 km steam plasma, which generates 120,000,000,000,000,000,000 Watts power output. So if we scale this to a 1m steam plasma tube, at 1 bar, we get 6 MWatts power output. A personal 0.5 m steam plasma tube will generate 3 MWatts, so you get all your power and heat, and sell the excess to the grid. And the power companies send you 5,000 UKP per month! So power with no CO2 – no Global Warming. I told my PhD supervisor this in 2003, and he suggested I went off and worked on cancer! The CO2 stuff came from physicists, who did not understand plants take in all CO2 down to 2 ppm globally, and so there has been no increase in free CO2 in the air, on record. There has been an increase in life. Which is why man started releasing CO2 from fossil fuels in the 18th century, and we had the little ice age. Global Cooling if ever we had it!
