I wish you'd talked about how oxygen took a long time to accumulate in the seas because as it was produced it reacted with carbon or free floating iron molecules or any of the things oxygen freely reacts to and was sequestered. It took fifty million years or so for that process reached equilibrium. After all, mid ocean vents or unwater volcanoes were continually adding more things to oxidize. Once everything was oxidized, finally, molecular oxygen started to accumulate in the oceans and leak out a bit into the atmosphere. As soon as it did it immediately formed oxides and was gone. Every rock surface, atmospheric methane, everything that could oxidize on land or in the atmosphere had to oxidize before free oxygen could begin to accumulate. That took a long time and you didn't mention any of it!

Well we are tinkering with them to try and clean up our mess so maybe we will fix it with a little genetic engineering. The defining trait of humanity over everything else is advanced technology and the first species to literally intentionally override natural selection on a scale never seen before (plants, pandas, animals, bacteria, beer, ...). We are supposed to be able to look at the big picture but with our lifespans being only 80-120 years people are still very shortsighted as many just kick the can down the road which is a bad idea.

Luckily, as we avanced technologicaly our CO2 emissions came down as well as every other polutant, especially when we invented cars, planes and computers. Or was it the other way around? A scientist puts his personal preferences and beliefs asside and looks at the data. There is a clear correlation between technological progress and environmental destruction in the last 10.000 years and especially the last 200 years but most people don't have the intelectual courage to admit this. No, i'm not saying we should go back to the stone age (But i know i'm gonna be accused of that because it's a classical emotional response, a thought stoper). But if we are not going to be honest about this then we don't stand a chance to solve our environmental problems.

@chukwow5738 4 года назад

Nuno Foo CO2 is not a pollutant, it’s the gas of life. Greenhouse farmers are adding CO2 (600-800 ppm) for better growth. However, I do agree that humans do pollute Mother Earth in a ridiculous paste. A nice example can be found here on YT, search for words toxiest river or toxic farmed salmon. There is micro plastic in plankton today. The list can go on for ever. The hunt for global economical growth is the real killer. Search for how many percent CO2 there is in the atmosphere, then compare that with water vapour (that is a greenhouse gas) and make some conclusions. Cheers

Pretty wild that an apocalypse paved the way for us...in fact many. Anyway, thanks little buddies!

@abramthiessen8749 4 года назад

Welcome to the post-apocalyptic world we live in. Several times over really. At least once due to a massive rock hitting the earth. Around 11 times due to "flood basalts" which is a nice way of saying that suddenly large areas of land became lava fields, the sun was blocked by ash, and acid rain fell all over the planet due to enormous quantities of sulfur and CO2 emitted into the air. Around 12 times due to the sea-level falling, concentrating the oceanic brine and uncovering coral reefs and continental shelves. These could be due to volcanism, or ice-ages? Some of these times it seems to be related to global warming (from volcanic gasses or maybe methane clathrates) reducing the solubility of oxygen and CO2. So depending on how you count it is somewhere between post-post-post-post-post-apocalyptic and post-post-post-post-post-post-post-post-post-post-post-post-apocalyptic.

As others have described, iron "captured" a lot of the oxygen (forming the banded iron formations) prior to atmospheric oxygen levels rising. One reason why multicellularity could have developed is that, by being multicellular, an organism could more effectively "protect" itself from toxic levels of oxygen. (A great book that describes these processes is, "Oxygen: the Molecule that Made the World", by Dr Nick Lane. Book is still remarkably relevant and current, in spite of being published in 2002).
