It's more like 50-60% and it depends on who's doing the breathing - the vast majority of O2 generated by phytoplankton doesn't become atmospheric O2 - it stays in the ocean. So yeah, us terrestrials would see terrestrial 02 producers as our glam rock stars.
If phytoplankton didn't exist, the things removing pure 02 from the ocean through respiration would die. In which case, the ocean would reach O2 solubility equilibrium at a fraction of a percent of atmospheric O2 and would stop uptaking it because there's nothing left to continue converting it to CO2.
Trees don't actually produce that much excess oxygen at all. If I remember correctly, only about ~1/1000 molecules of O2 generated by a given tree actually ever leave its local environment. The rest gets used up by the tree itself and surrounding wildlife
The world is full of dummies, want to cut CO2 go after china and india. EVs will do fuck all, photovoltaic, can you recycle them whats the carbon cost to make them...
crickets
Huk a durk I drive a byd and it carbon neutral, lol. ITS MADE OF PLASTIC.
Yeah, that damned Chyna and India causing so much harm producing all the stuff only for themselves that the whole rest of the world absolutely doesn't use no way no how.
Ideally one would walk everywhere or take public transport, and in Europe at least a lot of people do...
But even then that's not always feasible - especially if you live in a country that has actively sabotage both those methods of transport - so making the cars they drive able to operate off of renewable energy (dependent on their source of electricity) is better than ranting like an old man and doing nothing

Which is honestly a disservice to trees because they do so many other things like cool the landscape, hold soil, and provide habitat

also planet is like 70% water. how many % of landmass has trees.
ladicius@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 29d
There's roughly 3 200 000 000 000 trees in the world (about 400 per living human).
Are they even trying?

Barely, and then they have the audacity to get burned in wild fires.

How many plankton is there per human? Probably atleast 401. Checkmate tree haters.

Would be interesting if all the water currently held up in organisms would follow back into the climate

Wouldn't the ocean drain oxygen produced by trees if phytoplankton didn't exist? It seems to me that both move oxygen into the same system, earth.

Shallow underwater breath, since phytoplankton require sunlight. Less sunlight can penetrate into deeper water

Is Elton John hosting Carpool Karaoke now?
chuckleslord@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 29d
This is from Elton's biopic, played by Taron Egerton
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 29d
Tbf Taron makes an excellent Elton.
I gotta wonder if his role as Johnny (the gorilla) in Sing is what led to him as Elton in Rocket Man.

Correct, but phytoplankton also is dying because global and ocean warming.

Plastic can be produced from renewable sources... we choose oil because its cheap and mostly a byproduct of the energy industry.
TIEPilot@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 29d
Operative word in "can" but its not worth to companies when you can buy virgin plastic for cheaper...

He's off-topic, spewing borderline nonsense, and being needlessly aggressive doing so. I think the downvotes warranted
