It’s worth research.
We need to get over our CO2 panic, however, if we want to make, er, liberal use of this. Will the globe, upon seeing all the new CO2 here, spiral up in temperatures so high that it would render the planet unlivable?
There seem to be many clues that it won’t. CO2 is yummies for green plants, among other things. And green plants are yummies for fauna. By simple gas laws, CO2 would be expected to have a mild, but not wild, effect on world temperatures — hardly the sudden deluges and droughts envisioned in an Al Gore scenario. The earth seems to have a way of putting up reflective and shading clouds when it is getting hotter, too. It would be as if it had been engineered to be resilient to fluctuating CO2, and that (in an old earth local chronology) for billions of years. Good enough that some of those very earliest life forms are still with us.
In essence, CO2 “IS” green energy.
While we're at it, scientists have also found hydrocarbons well beneath the earth's mantle, way, way below the habitation zone.
In the last two days or so there have been news stories about a giant lake of carbon under the Western U.S. That's a hella lot of dead dinos.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Fossil fuels are simply millions of years of solar energy storage
I remember being taught that the match between the shape of the coasts of SA and Africa was just a coincidence.
And other geologists posit a Pangaea which originally had what were those continents mushed together (mushed being a thoroughly scientific word).
True enough. Green plants won’t be caught flat footed.
They and oil are renewables. The earth’s molten core out gasses long chain hydrocarbons which distills out in pockets. Old wells from decades ago have refilled.
The radiocarbon counts are often not what would be expected of the “dead dinosaur” explanation.
I’m not sure the abiotic theory explains why oil is generally found in geologic basins.
Oil flows to the paths of least resistance... filling the caverns and holes in the earth
Natural Gas bump
The Russians discovered this 6 decades ago
It’s called abiogenic or abiotic oil
Its worth research.

The Russians have done the research for us. If they are pumping oil from 40,000 feet down that ought to be all anyone needs to debunk the single source fossil fuel BS. For all we know the molten core may be largely composed of carbon matter.
More like a giant lump of pure carbon (it’s not CO2). Petroleum, coal, cellulose, sugar—all hydrocarbons have that hydrogen thingy attached to the carbon. At the temperature and pressure they are observing, it’s nothing more than compacted soot.
In the last two decades an area equivalent in size to the United States has slowly turned more green, as recorded by satellite observations of the Earth’s surface.
Green! Argh! Dat debbil CO2!
