Eli Explains It All: Amazon and Oxygen Edition
September 6, 2019
Eli, as readers of this blog know, often explains it all, often belatedly, but allow the Bunny to put to rest your fears that burning in the Amazon will deplete oxygen in the atmosphere.
The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is ~400 ppm. Oxygen is approximately 20%. That translates out to 200,000 ppm. If CO2 doubles to 800 ppm that would at worst put O2 at 199,600 ppm.
It's as simple as that, but if you insist on long reads, have at it.
