FTE-General could sometimes use an expansion of range of topics beyond "favourite deodorant?" or "why my neighbour sucks".
This has been troubling me for the past few days if you want to sink your teeth into something: What is the average age of water molecules on the planet? That is, water is compoesed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. So in theory water molecules can be formed and broken up. But, are there any natural processes on earth that can either form or split up water molecules? Or is the number of water molecules on the planet fixed?
Why think about this? It came out of a conversation about the importance of water conservation.

Here's another: Carbon cycle.
Everyone's concerned about carbon dioxide in the air as a greenhouse gas. And one way of dealing with it, it's been suggested, is to plant trees. Why? Because all plants grow by sucking CO2 out of the air, using energy from photosynthesis to split the CO2 up into Carbona nd Oxygen, and using the carbon to build stems and leaves. That is, they clean CO2 out of the air.
BUT - this of course means they only do this while they're growing. Eventually they die, and the carbon is either returned to the soil, or returned to the air as the methane by-product of decomposition. So, unless the mass of vegetable matter on the planet increases endlessly, the system in fact returns as much carbon to nature as it consumes. The only way to peranently remove carbon from the air is to permanently increase the mass of vegetable matter.

Actually more about how crude oil ended up in the ground in the first place.
The commonly accepted theory is that crude oil was originally millions upon millions of years of dead dinosaurs, plant life, etc that died on the surface of the earth.
I can believe that. There are dinosaur bones petrified in various places on the planet's surface.
But if you look at the life cycle of the modern forests there is an exchange going on at the surface only. Trees, animals, etc grow up, mature, and die. They fall to the ground and decompose.
They are recycled via scavengers, bacteria, mushrooms, worms, etc.
Nowhere is the cycle that fed the vast underground wells of crude oil still happening on earth.
Why is that?
How did the crude oil get in the ground by the cubic mile and now that process of nature is now stopped?
Or is it really dinosaur based?
