Photosynthesis - harmless chemical reaction, or one of the most carefully gaurded secrets of the world of flora?

By this simple reaction, trees are able to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and use it to make glucose, releasing oxygen in the process. Since ancient times, children have been taught that this is a highly desirable trait, and is the primary reason why people believe that conservation of the rainforests is so important.

EVERYTHING YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD IS A LIE.

After years of careful study, investigation, industrial espionage, and sucessful use of the magic of Wikipedia, I have discovered a horrible conspiracy in the plant world: THE TREES ARE TRYING TO KILL US.

It sounds crazy, I know, but allow me to shed some light on my findings.

Think about some of the greatest disasters in history - the Great Fire of London; the Hindenburg exploding; the Holocaust; the 9/11 terrorist attacks. What did all of these events, and many more not mentioned here, have in common? FIRE.

Now, I know you're all thinking, "what the hell does fire have to do with any of this shit about photosynthesis, yo?" It's quite simple, really. All you have to do is break it down logically, and the most atrocious secret of the forests will be revealed.

Article 1: Photosynthesis produces oxygen. Oxygen speeds the rate of combustion (i.e. it makes things burn faster). The more oxygen you have, the more efficient your fires become. It's like speed for fires. I think you get the idea.

Article 2: Photosynthesis depletes CO2. CO2 also happens to be the primary ingredient in FIRE EXTINGUISHERS. So, not only does photosynthesis produce a fire-enhancing substance (oxygen), but it also uses up one of the primary fire-fighting elements. This is already looking a little fishy.

Article 3: One of the most commonly used combustible substances is wood, which comes from the very trees which practice photosynthesis. So these bastards make the conditions ideal for fire, deplete what we need to fight fire, and then use their own bodies as a fuel source. Suicide bombers have nothing on these guys.

Article 4: Fire kills people. It's a proven fact. Therefore, by using themselves as catalyst for the fires they have created with their masterminded chemical warfare, trees are DESTROYING INNOCENT HUMAN LIVES.

Open your eyes to the truth! Stop conservation efforts worldwide! Bulldoze the forests! Replace them with safe, non-flammable concrete and asphalt as soon as possible! WE MUST HURRY! ARMAGEDDON IS NEAR!

    You need a hobby.

    Or find something else to amuse you. Check out Roadrunner and coyote cartoons on Youtube, or Foghorn Leghorn (My fav, only one is hosted on Youtube though sad.gif)

    This is why you dont take crack kids.

    Um conservation of rainforests is to help lower the CO2 levels which cause global warming because it can't get out of the atmosphere and thus warms up the earth. Something along the lines of that.....

    Trees improve air quality.

    Trees help prevent cause floods.

    So sure, lets cut down all the trees so we all die of asphyxiation and global warming.

    When you can prove CO2 does affect global warming I'm willing to listen. Till then I blame the sun.

    Grass, algae, and all other green things improve air quality.

    Grass and shrubs also help prevent floods. BTW- Why was the word "Cause" in there.

    So sure, lets chop down all the trees, but then how will I get my apples?

    Ever heard of greenhouse gases?
    It is because of the high levels of Co2(& some other gases) is why that the sun rays that are not absorbed by the earth can't escape through the atmosphere. Or w.e, have a hard time escaping.

    Ye they do but I would not guess that they would be as efficient as trees would.

    If the Sun's rays were not absorbed by the Earth, wouldn't there be global cooling and glaciation?

    ........I think if i member right the majority of suns rays are absorbed by the earth and become energy, move winds, w.e I dont remember.

    A percent of the suns rays that come to the earth bounce off. These are the rays I was talking about. Those are the rays that can't fully get out of the atmosphere cuz they are absorbed by the Co2 and heat up the earth.

    Dammit I dont wanna go look for my gr.10 bio book.

    Are you tryna make me look wrong still or trying to learn something? Lol I cant tell.

    the atmosphere is being thickened by huge quantities of human-caused carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. it traps a lot of the infared radiation that would otherwise escape the atmosphere and continue out until the universe. as a result, the temperature of the earths atmosphere& oceans is dangerously getting warmer.

    normally, a portion of outgoing infrared raadiation is naturally trapped by the atmosphere. that is what keeps the tempature on earth within comftorable bounds. the greenhouse gases on venus are so thick that it's temperatures are way too hot for humans. the ones an mars are almost nonexisent, so the temp there is far too cold. this is the reason there is so much life on earth, & why its commonly referred to as the "goldilocks planet", due to the temperatures being just right.

    Actually algae contributes around 80% of the world's production of oxygen, so it is arguably the world's most important organism. thumbsup.gif

    I also think that even if we do destroy all of the rainforests, the algae will more than compensate for the loss as they'll have more carbon dioxide to feed on, and will thus reproduce accordingly giving out even more oxygen. smile.gif

    If we pollute the oceans however, it's a different story altogether. tongue.gif

    Then there's also the fact that algae is a primary producer in the global food chain, so if it wasn't for algae there would be ALOT less animals around...

    we all know that the life of an american is worth alot more than any old londonian or jewish. (I don't know what a londoner is called, is it british? where is britain in relation to london? or are they both just cities? what the hell are these places anyway?)
