The lightest and most abundant element in the universe is hydrogen. The sun ( our star) is burning hydrogen in a compressed fusion reaction, mostly at its core. The by-product of the reaction is helium. When a star burns up its hydrogen it goes to the next element on the periodic table, helium. The by-product of that fusion is carbon. All life on earth is carbon based that means that the element that gives use life came from a burning out star so long ago it is barley fathomable.
Carbon in a cycle on earth.
The limited supply of carbon is in a cycle of production of life giving oxygen giving us the means to make energy, the bi-product of this is carbon dioxide that will be taken up by plants to make oxygen again.
Life sustaining balance of gases.
Our atmosphere has been through many changes over time including some mass extinctions. Man has in recent times interceded ( acid rain and sulphur). Man is capable when deployed to sustain most natural short term unbalances.
Enjoy the suns magic today.
The sun is young and strong we are able to take action at this time.
