Life Is Like Oxygen

I know that this is a poor take off on a bubble gum hit by Sweet but it fits an article that I happened to come across this week. An amazing scientific discovery has found that there is a plethora of oxygen tied up in the Earth’s crust, close to the core. Yes, we have found the missing oxygen. I know that everyone was concerned that there was oxygen missing and no one could locate where it was hiding. I guess you can all breathe easier. Sorry, I had to go for the cheap pun.

Apparently, there is a large quantity of oxygen that is tied up in a mineral in the crust. When the mineral is under high temperature and pressure, it holds the oxygen tightly within its mineral structure. As the mineral gets closer to the surface of the crust, it gives up its oxygen which releases it into the atmosphere. That would provide for the eventual increase in the overall oxygen mix in our atmosphere. It sounds like Mother Nature is changing the rules on what we assume once again.

Now you know that I am going to angle toward the topic that is so near and dear to my heart; global climate change. It surprises me that the scientific community would print any article that implies that we do not understand things that are happening to our planet. To do so provides the mirror that reflects how ignorant we are about the whole shooting match. To think that man is affecting the weather in any small degree by burning fossil fuels and raising cattle for burgers after getting a blast from the oxygen generation brigade seems to be a lesson in how ignorant we really are. Love is like oxygen. You get too much, you get too high. Not enough and your gonna die. Love makes you high. How Sweet is is.
