</A> -Cui Bono?-
Hi,
Maybe I've missed it, but I've seen no discussion, and
lots of allegations, regarding a basic scientific issue:
There is a rumor (or urban legend) to the effect that in
recent centuries and decades, the Earth's atmospheric oxygen
concentration has rapidly dropped from the 32-40% range, down
to around 19-21% -- and then more recently (especially in big
cities, it is alleged) to only 16-17%, or to even as low as
11-12% (depending upon who is retelling this slippery story).
Now, is this entirely a matter of environmentalist doomsday
"theology" -- perhaps driven by commercially or politically
motivated propaganda ? Did someone "channel" this information,
or is there scientific evidence to support some part of this ?
(And if there is some amount of truth to this, where did the
"missing" oxygen disappear to -- and what is taking its place,
in the 100% of "something" making up what we're breathing ?)
No, I'm not worried -- just a little concerned that no one
(apparently) has seen fit to educate the media-led masses of
people who are left to possibly believe (based on these rumors)
that they and their kids can't be "really healthy, anymore,"
simply because "the oxygen is rapidly disappearing."
Someone recently told me -- in dead earnest -- that "Ed McCabe
told me" (when, I didn't ask) that these stories were factual.
I did a search on "urban legend" and "oxygen" -- using
www.alltheweb.com -- and was startled to find that (apparently)
no one has written about this seeming life-or-death issue.
Has anyone seen any logical, science-based discussions
specifically confirming or disproving these persistent rumors ?
How long have these stories been circulating ?
Bill
