Can comets delivering co2 effect climate chemistry?

Can comets delivering co2 effect climate chemistry?

It'd take a lot of them.

Or a really big one like the ones that killed the dinosaurs and turned them in to oil.

You really should address the gaps in your science education.

There are a couple schools of thought on the source of oil. Neither of which involves decaying dinos.

Really ?

Someone needs to check their sarcasm detector.

Sarcasm needs to have an element of humor to be recognizable.

Your statement not only lacked humor, but was totally irrelevant to the topic.

Carry on though. As long as your happy, that's what matters in life.

Water on Earth can also be broken down by cosmic radiation, and also electrolysis through the galvanic processes of water in contact with metals and minerals as well as electrical storms.


Another tidbit concerning the regulatory properties of water:

CO2 is soluble in water because water molecules are attracted to these polar areas. The bond between carbon and oxygen is not as polar as the bond between hydrogen and oxygen, but it is polar enough that carbon dioxide can dissolve in water.

That should start a lot of people thinking about how the oceans help to regulate Earth's atmospheric gasses.
