Soon to Asphyxiate?
If.... the rains don't fall in Amazonia next season....Then... the region will burn and die....releasing an amount of carbon equivalent to what humans have burned in the last 45 years...all in one year. Then the rest of the world will experience famine, and suffocation will follow- killing almost everyone on the planet- all before 2012 AD., a few years hence.
The fossil record indicates that Oxygen in the atmosphere once was about 38%, by 1900 it was 30%, by 1940 it was 25%. Right now it is 19-22%, and anything below 15 % humans begin to die (some large cities now register below 15%).
The release of the Carbon contained within the vegetation in Amazonia (through forest fires) will kill most of us very soon. The Amazon river basin can only sustain three years of drought- Pray for rain!
We will have to hide deep underground, useing special oxygen machines to keep us alive and safe from our fuelish folly.
The esteemed Woods Hole Institute has suggested this sequence of events......
