I love science! But for some reason, what I don't love is sitting for hours in class listening to lectures. In fact, my interest in science only began after I finished high school. While I was in school, science was one of my most hated classes. The teacher would drone for hours without saying anything interesting and then they would test me and i would fail. Time and Time again.

Then, when I was about 25 something interesting happened. I was taking a bath and after a few minutes the water got cold and i wondered what changed in the water. I wondered what changed in the water. I mean, the water is the same; only the temperature changed. But what exactly is temperature? I jumped on YouTube and found a physics class from Berkeley University that explains everything about atoms and heat. Ever since then, I am hooked. All it takes is one good teacher!

Reddit user trey12aldridge addressed any complaint you may have about this meme:
First, rainforests, both temperate and tropical, produce about as much oxygen from carbon as equally sized areas of wetlands/ocean, there are just more oceans/wetlands on Earth than rainforests. Second, cyanobacteria and algae are planktonic, plankton are just creatures that live in suspension near the waters surface. Third, because oceans and wetlands cover so much of the Earth, they pull more weight than forests, but there is an upper limit to that. When we see hypereutrophication as a result of fertilizer runoff, the resulting Harmful Algal Blooms will create mass die offs that absorb all the oxygen through aerobic decomposition, resulting in hypoxic regions of the ocean where almost nothing can live. The Black Sea and Gulf of Mexico are probably the 2 best examples of this. Lastly, they aren't closed systems. Without healthy wetlands, rainforests would be subject to infiltration of aquifers, erosion, drought, flooding, etc. and without healthy rainforests, wetlands don't get the sediment they need to sustain themselves. When one ecosystem fails, the surrounding ones almost certainly will too, so while it's fun to joke about one being more important/pulling more weight, the truth is that we would be screwed six ways from Sunday without either one, so we should appreciate and protect both equally.
