Even if you converted all the atmospheric CO2 to O2, oxygen levels will not increase by more than 1%. So where did the rest come from and go to?

- rsj_hn 5y agoIt came from CO2 and other carbon gasses. IIRC, according to current theory, there were 3 major climates in the earth. In the first climate, the atmosphere was volcanic gasses, many of which were blown off into space, leaving the second climate of carbon gases as a residue, and then this was absorbed into rocks as well as consumed by CO2 breathing lifeforms. https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/earth-s-earliest-climate-24206248/ https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/earth-s-ea...
