Also, light and plants aren't the only source of food. Bacteria live on sulphates from hydrothermal vents so deep under water that the only light comes from our cameras. Worms eat the bacteria and other life forms eat the worms. And it doesn't just apply to life forms, it can even apply to fire. Hydrogen, heat, pressure, and a star is born, fire burns everything combustible that it comes in contact with, why? Because where there is food, something will be there to eat it.

I once wondered why any animal would want to live in the snow and ice caps, when it would clearly be far more comfortable and easy in the sunny parts of the world. Then I saw the plants. How could the plants grow there? Well, they were getting light and water and it wasn't so cold that it killed them. That's when I realised that where there is food, something will be there to eat it. Just. Because. It can. It could be considered a buffet to someone who's alternate food source is occupied.

No worries man.

Yes, 18 hours later, I admit i was bit tired and cranky.
My appologies.

Okay....that was a freakout. I was merely saying that carbon dioxide isn't bent like that, it doesn't mean anything. I wasn't protesting anything, I wasn't saying that Neil deGrasse Tyson should go to hell just because they showed an inaccurate model of carbon dioxide. It was just a little bothersome for me when NOVA presented carbon dioxide bent as though it was water, being a chemist and all. Seeing that would probably make every chemist cringe with pain. I wasn't being pessimistic.

Im sorry I have this awful habit of assuming the worst about people when they point out meaningless facts
Because of all the things that are flawed with the molecular model used in all schools in the world that covers the subject, and from which these animations are clearly remodelled after, you point out that CO2 is not bent like its shown?
I mean, do you think that sticks connect the atoms in molecules? Or that oxygen is red?
Do you protest when the animals in Ice Age 2 speak english?

At 0:24, carbon dioxide isn't bent like that.

I am a huge fan of carbon; I like it a lot. Unfortunately I see far too much carbon being wasted.... on Creationists, for example.

There is non, but carbon has the best qualities to make very different molecules, that can change forms and so attributes quite easely, and there is lots of it. However, there have been ideas of silicum based lifeforms as well, but it is still discussed.
