or granted the limited resource of fauna on our land. This fauna (aka trees and shrubbery) uses carbon dioxide to live, and within the process of giving themselves life they provide us with life by emitting the oxygen we breathe to live. With the depleted number of fauna unable to use the extra carbon dioxide the hole in the ozone layer becomes larger – it is already approximately ten million miles in diameter – the planet will continue to warm, and all we need to do is look at other planets to see what has happened when they have over heated.Geologists commonly use resources found within our environment to imply what may be found on other planets within our solar system. In recent studies several geologists discovered a form of bacteria living within the ice of the Arctic climate. Bacteria is not something many people would be excited to come in contact with, but in this case it opens doors for many ideas about life on other planets. As one travels further from the sun they should expect to get colder due to lack of solar energy reaching them. Being the third closest planet to the sun, the only place on Earth that comes close to those temperatures on colder planets is the Arctic. By finding bacterial life in our Arctic environment, one can come rather close to assuming there may be bacterial life on other planets. However, this does not mean that we should discount the current animals and life found in this frozen area of our Earth. Warm temperatures melt the ice the bacteria and animals live on, warm temperatures also create a more satisfying environment for certain insects (ever notice how mosquitoes come out in the summer and not winter?) that bother the indigenous life by introducing such things as new diseases.The release of carbon dioxide from melting ice is not the only thing creating the problems facing the environment. Aerosol cans, cows (number one producers of methane gas on the planet – and yes m...
