Default A quick question, just curious really...

If the CO2 in the atmosphere is building (for what ever reason, don't
want to get all political here), therefore Carbon is bonding to Oxygen
at a ratio 1:2. so surely the O2 levels of the atmosphere will be
falling at the same rate? Should we not be overly worried about
reducing O2 rather than increasing CO2?
Does anyone here know of any research and/or results for this
happenning?

Add the fact that de-forestation is happening (so we are told...again
not wanting to be all political), then any O2 is not being adequately
replaced...this would only compound the problem.

This could just be the indicator (or scientific cross-check) that the
CO2 levels are rising and we are not getting bogus data from any
sources.

So any results / research into this will be greatly and appreciatedly
received.

Anyone with any info?

The ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is somewhere
in the order of 580 to 1, so we aren't going to run out of oxygen any
time soon
