Back when Svante Arrhenius was developing his groundbreaking anthropogenic global warming theory, he turned to Arvid Högbom (1857-1940) to provide estimates of how much carbon circulates between the atmosphere and oceans, and how carbon could be removed through the sinking and deposition of dead marine lifeforms, entombed in rocks and returned through volcanic activity. However, these were strictly simple guesstimates, and not the more rigorous calculations that Vernadsky performed.StSimonsIslandGaGuyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07442103883395280194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318930696739797298.post-60209061277710135112011-03-05T18:58:12.275-08:002011-03-05T18:58:12.275-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.StSimonsIslandGaGuyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07442103883395280194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318930696739797298.post-25314597480507494592011-03-03T13:44:43.293-08:002011-03-03T13:44:43.293-08:00This story goes with my blog entry quite well :)

He believed that living, biological material had a special quality or essence, that made it impossible for biological matter to become non-biological matter. That it has an immutable property. He uses a lot of circumlocution in his book "The Biosphere" but it seems awfully like he is talking about living matter as being inhabited by a spirit.StSimonsIslandGaGuyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07442103883395280194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318930696739797298.post-4852410988102668632011-03-02T20:39:13.411-08:002011-03-02T20:39:13.411-08:00I have been looking for The Biosphere in google bo...I have been looking for The Biosphere in google books, but have been unable to locate it.
