By the way...argumentum ad verecundiam doesnt work here.
Lol...do better
It is true the the hydrothermal vents do produce some hydrocarbons. They are released into the ocean and microbes eat it as a source of food. These vents are not a source of the petroleum we produce. How many oilwells are in Hawaii or Iceland? Hawaii sits on an oceanic hotspot and is the largest volcano on earth. Iceland is the top of the Mid-Atlantic rift and is all volcanic. Not one drop of oil has been produced from either.
so if you quote argumentum ad verecundiam, then you must believe all the “mainstream science”.
Like global warming. because the “Official” experts have been paid off.
