These researchers view life as a rather weak climatic stabilizing mechanism for the bulk of geologic time The issue of carbon remains critical to the story of how life influenced the atmosphere Carbon burialis a key to the vital process 0f building up atmospheric oxygen concentrations prerequisite for the development of certain life -forms in addition global warming may be taking place now as result of humans releasing this carbon For one or two billion years algae in the oceans produced oxygen But because this gas is highly reactive and because there were many reduced minerals in ...
