According to some scientists, the Sun at certain periods, radiates more energy in unit time and this causes the temperature of the oceans to rise. Because of their enormous extent, the oceans take one hundred years to warm up and in doing so, release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The greenhouse gas effect of methane is actually twenty-three times that of carbon dioxide. Termites in the tropics are to blame for giving out methane in the process of digesting the wood of fallen dead jungle trees. This can be checked out in any text on climatology or on the Internet. The point being made here is that there are many scientists who believe that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is caused by global warming and not the other way around. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is essential to the production of atmospheric oxygen in the carbon cycle through photosynthesis in green vegetation. The conclusion is that the subterranean sequestration of carbon dioxide is wrong in principle and is …
