you kept mentioning a polluting byproduct or an accidental byproduct of photosynthesis was oxygen but the accidental partisan what i don't understand. i know that need their theology nor science would call that accidental. i mean einstein said the harmony of natural law repeals intelligence of such superiority that compared with that of a systematic thinking and acting of mankind is but an utterly insignificant reflection. he thought it all made sense. we had to discover this sense. theology at its highest level would say the same thing. it isn't accidental. oxygen isn't accidental and as you describe the linkage, the linkage of the progress is and accidental. i have a scientists only recently that a problem with most people's world view is that they do not consider the future, they consider that the future is something that happens to them, not something that they create. just focusing on that accidental part, what do you think? >> no, i think there's a lot to what you say. the way i would phrase it is that, that in the long run, that nature has a way of turning accidents into non-ac

as the temperature declines, the trees start to die for lack of photosynthesis, then the bushes and then the grasslands. the dust blows out across the oceans. part of it is lead. when that lead settles to the bottom of the ocean, it catalizes growth in the largest biological mass we have on the planet, plankton. that growth emits co-2 to keep going. the oceans contain 70 times as much co-2 as the atmosphere does. as the plankton pull that out of the oceans, homeostasis or equilibrium causes more co-2 to come out of the atmosphere and into the oceans. the reverse happens when the planet warms up through solar activity. cooler oceans have more co-2 than warm oceans. we have 388 part pers million today. mr. barton: and we believe in the atlantic and pacific we are in a cooling period. something called p.s.o. and an a.m.o. or something. mr. linder: that's correct. they've been in a cooling period. we have now 3,400 instruments that go into the oceans. every 10 days they pop up and give the satellites information about what's on the instruments and there's been no warming in the oceans. mr. b
