  Graphic

  Here is a graphic about the decreasing oxygen since about 1990. It is in pretty good agreement with the assumption that every additional CO2 molecule means about 1-2 molecules of O2 have been replaced.

  It's the CO2 we have to worry about, not the lack of O2. I doubt there are enough fossil fuels reserves to make a dent that matters for O2.On Oh good grief posted 1 year, 2 months ago 6 Responses

  Good grief, indeed

  In the case of coal, every emitted molecule of CO2 has replaced one molecule of O2, and two in the case of methane. Something in between for oil. CO2 has increased by 100 ppm, so about 100-200 ppm of O2 have been lost.

  Scaremongering like this is really counterproductive.

  Interview on KQED

  I listened to an interview with S&N on KQED yesterday morning. Actually, it did not sound that bad, and they did say that we should not wait for the 'technological pony' (I liked that expression). They also suggested that government action is needed to make for example solar energy cheaper.

  The interview can be downloaded from here. Maybe I should listen again.

  wind and solar?

  Not bad indeed, but it does not mention wind and solar energy at all. Isn't Utah a pretty sunny state?
