Is this what is happening?

Umm, no, we're not running out of oxygen. And by the way, the 'oxygen factories' thing is a logical fallacy. The net oxygen output of the rainforests is zero. They only photosynthesise oxygen during the day; at night, when there's no light to photosynthesise with, they use a different chemical process for energy, one that consumes oxygen rather than generates it.
