From scientific evidence, the Earth goes through cycles between oxygen and CO2. It goes like this:

Through photosysthesis, CO2 is used by plant life and blue green algae (cycanobacteria). These we can call the photosynthesizers. As free oxygen is released into the atmosphere atmospheric CO2 is being depleted. If photosynthesis uses too much CO2 the Earth cools due to CO2’s reduced green house effect. As this cooling effect progresses, the Earth could get so cold that all life would no longer exist. The Earth would become frozen in ice with a high amount of atmospheric oxygen and CO2 levels so low that there would be little greenhouse effect. Luckily, this does not happen because there are what they call, methanogens which utilize the waste products and leftovers of the photosynthesizers for their metabolism and generate methane and carbon dioxide as a byproduct. They also create that organic stuff call petrochemicals. This balance between the photosynthesizers and the methanogens is the true story of the Earth’s temperature regulation.

If the Earth gets too warm, due to an increase in solar activity, the photosynthesizers kick in because increased temperatures promote their growth. As the oceans fill up with more algae and there is more plant life, more CO2 is being used. They will continue in the feast mode until they cause the Earth to chill. This reduction in temperature is not conducive to the photosynthesizers. Their growth will slow and reach that equilibrium when the optimum Earth’s temperature is reached. In short, we all don’t need to buy electric cars to combat global warming. We can let the photosynthesizers and the methanogens do the work for us.

“In short, we all don’t need to buy electric cars to combat global warming. We can let the photosynthesizers and the methanogens do the work for us.”

Now how are we going to stop capitalism with that nonsense?

From the "Darwin's Ghost" book I mentioned earlier, I found this at the end of Chapter IX ...

"Sixty billion people have lived since man appeared in modern form. Io excavate every graveyard - and every fossil site - in the world would turn up no more than a minute fraction of their remains. The lost armies of the dead have a moral for evolution. They are a reminder that the geological record is a history of the world imperfectly kept and written in a changing dialect; of this history we possess the last volume alone. Of this volume, only here and there a short chapter has been preserved, and of each page, only here and there a few lines. However grand the monuments, and however firm the hope of eternal life, in the depths of time a Pharaoh in a pyramid has as little chance of immortality as does a soldier stamped into a bloody swamp. The history of ancient Egypt, of the present century - and of the existence of our own species - will soon be gone forever: but what fragments might remain may allow some future historian to guess at the forgotten struggles that built his own world."
