Jim,
Only questioning the rumored "disappearing oxygen concept".
It's a serious problem, if it's true. But where's the data?
There are ample rumors, -- no offence intended, -- so I'm
questioning why there's a paucity of published "instrument
data" from those who conducted the measuring -- data which
would help resolve this essential question. Sorry if I
sounded too intense. Must have been those darn sunspots!
I guess I should write Ed McCabe. Hope he's doing OK...
Anyone happen to have a current e-mail address for Ed ?

That's interesting -- and immediately brings to mind the
legendary 900+ year lifespan of certain biblical patriarchs.
Their era was *supposedly* only approx. 6000 to 4500 years ago.
Note: According to some interpretations of the oldest and
most "holy" of books, that era ended with the "great flood",
which was the spiteful act of our creator(s) -- the top god,
and a race of super-human Anunnaki, Elohim, Watchers, etc. --
who resolved to exterminate all humans -- and only one human
family survived that holocaust.
Maybe some of these ETs have been taking the Earth's oxygen
for their own life-extension purposes -- not caring, or
perhaps desiring, that we should starve for oxygen ?
Just asking. ;-)

Yes, we are referring to "free oxygen." The "shrinking ozone
layer" is a relevant topic to investigate. Some scientists have
said the "CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) destruction of the ozone layer"
is a red herring. (Some media propaganda was said to be financed
by directly by DOW Chemical, because they had a newly patented,
higher-cost Freon replacement, and their Freon patent had expired.)
There's likely to be some scientific data in those dissenting
scientist's published research, along the lines you suggest.

That's for sure, but not what you'd gather from media reports
regarding parallel issues such as global warming and CO2, and
the international Kyoto Protocols. There's also the new age,
channeled "environmental doomsday theology" type of propaganda.
(Earth mother Gaia is mad as hell over modern technology, etc.)
These world government, mass media, and mass pop culture
operations contend that the technology of the past few centuries
is THE issue -- and seem to avoid taking your long term view of
historical cycles.
Thanks for your ideas.
