The P factor

Deforestation as the major cause of global warming is my hypothesis, i have not come up with all the supporting evidence which would be enormous but I think it makes good sense. The scenario is like this: trees are cut in a forest along a river, exposing the soil, soil erodes and the carbon stock in the soil is released to the atmos and the river, that part goes into the ocean. So there are 2 part s of Carbon atmos and Ocean, plus the lumber and ecosystem loss. Common sense tells me this is a far greater problem than smokestacks. But I dont want to belittle that problem , either but I want to tackle each problem separately. the reason i think deforestation is a greater problem is simply:1. the loss of an ecosystem 2. loss of culture of people 3. loss of resources 4. loss of soil carbon 5. eutrophication of delta and BOD, resulting in siltation, loss of estuary, fishery and ecosystem collapse in domino fashion 6. loss of clouds and world above and within forest 7. change of climate as a result 8. desert or swamp as a result 9. fires, aerosols, brown clouds and melting of snow and ice in arctic and alpine regions 10. water quality and quantity severe 11. epidemics of disease, starvation and WAR . You dont get these consequences from smoke stacks but they have other problems of course. A similar disaster can happen to phytoplankton from all the trash,sewage, toxins, plastic dumped in the Ocean. Phytoplankton produce more Oxygen than all the forests on Earth combined and dolphins and whales are friends live there. Also we eat the fish and mollusks so on. Phytoplankton (P) can use lot of that CO2 dissolved in the Ocean water if healthy. In turn P will provide a base for the food chain as well as regulate the climate. P is the regulator not water or CO2 but those gases will feed P. This is my Maia hypothesis but it is not homeostasis but dependent on sources outside our solar system like cosmic rays. That is the difference. I am inviting you and anyone else on this quest of the universe to discover a new theory of life on planet Earth. Call it the P factor if you will. So over again: P when given sufficient cosmic rays and Sol rays will bloom. Next DMS is produced along with Oxygen which is vital, CO2 is recycled into the benthos and food chain, some is released back to Atmos. Next, A great deal of energy is complexed through many sources (less thermodynamic entropy)....THIS is the primary goal. Limit thermodynamic entropy and resources will be conserved and less heat will be generated. Next CNN created which makes a cloud system--a Climate is made by P! Wind and water currents are concurrent with P, upwelling feeds P. Hurricane paths are changed by P, in fact P can make storms, powerful little guys. Next P climate system depending on coastal or pelagic will move onto land. Next Land processes in turn affect P populations ie dust storms, runoff, smokestack emissions, overfishing, whaling, deforestation. So the CO2 theory has some validity as far as it affects the ecosystems but it is secondary. There are other factors to consider that can not be overlooked. 1. Atomic bomb testing had an enormous effect which is what i was implying for 1945-75. Also the radiation lag time is just catching up now after 50 years form radioactive Cesium. It is in the lagoons and soil of the atolls of the South Pacific and in fact throughout the world. we can only hope that P can overcome this tragedy. It should not be underestimated. This and other nuclear wastes are good reason to ban Nuclear anything. I have accumulated lots of papers on these subject but will post them on my blog.
