Forbidden knowledge: The carbon cycle
By Mark C. Ross
Due to the dangerous information being here presented, I recommend that this be read in a locked room with the curtains drawn. People have gotten in trouble for less.
For starters, there’s this completely false portrayal of carbon (as in its dioxide version) rising up into the atmosphere and staying there. What really happens is that atmospheric CO2 is voraciously consumed by plants. I’m talking about forests, jungles, grasslands, gardens, farms, and the Big Kahuna: the oceans’ enormous component of phytoplankton.
Via the not so mysterious process of photosynthesis, plants combine carbon dioxide with water and other substances to create carbohydrates, such as wood and sugar, while also releasing free oxygen (O2) as a byproduct. When left alone, these carbohydrates ultimately decompose into methane (CH4) among other substances. When burned for various purposes, they cause the release of CO2 and water vapor, plus other products such as carbon monoxide. When sugars are fermented from being digested by yeast cells, ethanol and carbon dioxide are the primary byproducts. During a recent supply chain problem, CO2, which was needed to put the fizz in soda pop, was in short supply due to a slowdown in beer brewing.
