Another Trump university grad has joined the chat  :roll:

No, sweetie, trees do not “make oxygen”. Oxygen is an element. You cannot make it, except inside the core of a star. [/quote]
Originally? Yes. But to suggest plants and trees aren’t actively replenishing or sustaining Earth’s oxygen levels via photosynthesis is a strange take.

As the article notes: 
[i]
“Earth getting warmer will cause carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere to break down, and so in these conditions the planet will struggle to grow as it requires carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. And [b]if plants cannot survive, then we're in trouble, as it is Earth's main source of oxygen.”[/b][/i][/quote]
"What's phytoplankton?"

Wow, NASA must be hiring from the shallow end of the gene pool or hiring some public education dropouts, or else that news person got that all mixed up, which is the most likely. Most news reporter personalities are really dumb. [/quote]

Well... [b]phytoplankton is a plant[/b], but people like to talk about trees because it's more visual even though they contribute about 6% to the oxygen cycle. [/quote]

Government education example. :D ^[/quote]

The use photosynthesis so it's more a plant than an animal. It's really neither, but describing it as a plant[b] is less wrong than calling it an animal. [/b]Do you also have trouble when people calm tomatoes a vegetable? Or a strawberry, a berry?[/quote]

"Less wrong" Wow, 1/10 attempt at a saving face there.  :lol: 
Also, nobody but you called phytoplankton an animal. :D [/quote]

And NASA. [/quote]
