Only Two Percent Of The Ocean Is

If Darwin Could See What We Now See, What We Now Know About The Ocean, About The Atmosphere, About The Nature Of Life, As We Now Understand It, About The Importance Of Microbes - I Think He Would Just Beam With Joy That Many Of The Thoughts And The Glimpses Of The Majesty Of Life On Earth That He Had During His Life, Now Magnified Many Times Over.

We Have An Atmosphere That Is Roughly 21% Oxygen. The Rest Of It Is Largely Nitrogen. There's Just Enough Carbon Dioxide (co2) To Drive Photosynthesis. That Has Been, Throughout The History Of Our Species, Pretty Stable. Until Recently.

I've Had The Joy Of Spending Thousands Of Hours Under The Sea. I Wish I Could Take People Along To See What I See, And To Know What I Know.

Far And Away, The Greatest Threat To The Ocean, And Thus To Ourselves, Is Ignorance. But We Can Do Something About That.

Knowledge Is The Key To Making A Difference.
