Sorry you failed to see that it was intended to be a simple, brief analogy. Thinking of the Earth as a " super organism" and using a single organism for comparative functions is common. As we age and go through normal activity, our body's needs constantly change. Same with our planet's oceans and atmosphere, as you pointed out. Also, at the end of my post, I said it sounds simple, but it isn't.
When our system is out of balance or broken, it is time to take our medicine.
