It seems to me that the destruction of our forests, increased use of machines running on various fuels, increased population etc., etc., may be causing a global reduction of atmospheric oxygen. Is anyone monitoring the reductions and reporting on them? Could some of the ocean oxygen depletion be related to the maintenance of atmospheric oxygen levels? VR Sir,

(Noah’s flood-Gilgamesh’s flood) Each similar flood is connected to the global basinal extinctions. -Cosmogeological PLATE TECTONICS supports rapid CATASTROPHIC PLATE TECTONICS after asteroid impacts and rapid EB geo-transfers (rapid movement of outer nucleus masses into asthenosphere). It produces rapid global movement of continental platforms and rapid subduction, obduction, overfolding thin lithosphere platforms. It means rapid global folding-rugosity almost all oceans’ platforms.

If global warming is indeed a reality, I wonder how this will affect oxygen levels now and in the future? And if oxygen levels are indeed the deal breaker for life and the possible evolution of life on our planet, my next question would be how will this affect the current crop of human beings who find themselves as the supposed dominant life form on the planet?
