The world is awash in oil.

This is simply further evidence.

[Will88]

“the region might hold as much as a fifth of the world’s yet to-be-discovered oil and natural gas reserves.”

One-fifth of yet-to-be-discovered? I think they’re assuming too much there. They don’t know how much yet-to-be-discovered oil and natural gas there is.

If only globull warming were true and the ice caps really were melting.

as the polar ice cap melts >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

OH , PULLLEEESE!

Enough already!

That ice cap will be coming back in spades on another 4 or 5 years. These twits refuse to understand that the primary engine driving the climate is THE SUN!

And Old Sol has decreased its energy output and when the warming trend runs out lag time on our lovely planet, you can bet that ice will come back in spades, maybe too much.

They need to explore while its easier, but you know what? The ice will be back , and it will be back powerfully, and the cold will likely be more than they would ever want in exploratory terms.

I assume they do not mean this kind of fifth:

[Larry Lucido]

I hope there's more than a fifth. :-)

Since oil resources seem to be found on every continent, I wonder how much is under Antarctica?

[tet68]

Since oil resources seem to be found on every continent, I wonder how much is under Antarctica? Then too, we have only been using modern methods to search for some 50 years, there's a lot of world out there.

I was talkin to a guy once and he said basically “Whatever they tell you, multiply it by ten!”

He was a hydraulic engineer.

For twenty five years.

At this little backwater joint called Prudhoe Bay.

if it’s

“undiscovered”

then how

would you quantify it?
