    I don't know how much of a threat this is, but I've not heard anyone address this. Of course it's true also for fossil fuels - every time you burn anything for energy, you're losing oxygen in the process.

    If we just used renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal) we wouldn't have to worry about all this stuff.
