Scientists, whether in biology or geology, or whether in all and any
of the
sciences, have not placed enough attention or emphasis on the idea of
weaker or stronger ecosystem. Global Warming causes us to focus
attention
on the two largest ecosystems on Earth. On the one hand we have the
Oceans
as a ecosystem and counterbalancing the oceans is the Land ecosystem.

But what scientists have failed to recognize in large part is that the
oceans,
even though they cover 70% of the Earth's surface are vastly smaller
than
the Land ecosystem. So how do I reach that conclusion? Since Oceans
cover 70% means that the land ecosystem is only 30% of the Earth's
surface
so how can Land ecosystem be vastly larger? And the answer is that
the
Land ecosystem involves actually two realms -- land and air. Whereas
the
Ocean ecosystem involves only the water itself. The air above the
Oceans
is part of the Land ecosystem.

What makes the Oceans far more vulnerable and weaker than the Land
ecosystem, what makes marine live doubly vulnerable rather than
terrestrial
life, is the fact that the Oceans breathing and medium of space are
all in one--
the oceans themselves. Whereas the Land ecosystem has the Land and the
Air
as its medium of space. The Air medium itself is larger than the
oceans of
70% surface.

And the fact that the terrestrial life is buffered by this huge amount
of air
that surrounds them, whereas in the Oceans, if we start to increase
its temperature
or its acidity, we in affect have a throat hold on their breathing
ability since
the air that marine life breathes is in the same medium that they
live.

The other fact also, is that the Oceans are the waste dump of ultimate
"low well"
that waste eventually ends up in the ocean reservoir since it is the
lowest
depression on Earth. The last and ultimate sink hole.

So, what I feel is missing from the Global Warming debate, is the
perception
that the sequence of events, if Global Warming is not abated or
solved, that
the Oceans will end up being dead zones.

We see it already in vast stretches of the oceans has less lifeforms
than 50 or
100 years ago. We complacently say it is overfishing the oceans, which
is
a heavy contribution to the attrition of ocean life. But the main and
major
culprit is the fact that the oceans will be the first ecosystem to
outright
be dead because of Fossil Fuel Waste.

The Fossil Fuels we burn ends up as heating up the oceans, more than
the land,
and ends up with the carbon making the Ocean waters acidic.

Sure, we see increasing bad weather of tornadoes and hurricanes, and
we see
water levels rising in Venice and Holland and islands going
underwater. Sure we
see that as a consequence of our burning of Fossil Fuels. But what we
fail to
realize the big danger, is when we have the Oceans entirely dead of
its life.

Now can humanity and the terrestrial life survive if the Oceans are
dead zones?
I happen to believe we can, only that our populations of 7 to 8
billion humans
would shrink into the millions and not billions. I would not want to
be living on
Earth if the Oceans became a dead zone.

The solution and the way to avert this catastrophe is that we not only
have
to control our human population size so that we stop making other
species
extinct so that we can accomodate billions more humans. But also, that
we
need to tapp into Volcano Electricity, by rendering our volcanoes as
electric
power stations.

Humanity has lived off of tapping into Sun's energy in the form of
fossil fuel.
We have never really tapped into the Earth's energy. So we are missing
1/2 of
the energy available to tapp into by ignoring Volcanoes. Volcanoes can
replace
all the fossil fuels. Just those tiny volcanoes in Iceland that was
thwarting air
plane traffic in Europe earlier this year, just those Iceland
volcanoes alone can
supply Europe with all its energy needs. Just Yellowstone geysers and
geothermals
can supply all of the mainland USA with all the electricity it needs
and where
we can all be driving electric vehicles.

We can either head for the path where the Oceans become a dead zone,
and not
just due to BP like oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico, but because the
burning of oil,
coal and natural gas, their pollutants all end up as contributing to
the death of all
marine life. The Oceans cannot survive when humanity has burned all
the fossil
fuels available.
