Any thinking person has to realize that the “oil is dead dinosaurs” theory is a fairy tale.
“Any thinking person has to realize that the “oil is dead dinosaurs” theory is a fairy tale.”
Maybe because nobody (who knows what they’re talking about) has ever claimed that? The conventional thinking is that oil is formed from ancient deposits of algae, plankton, and other microscopic sea life. One of the main reasons for thinking this is due to the close relationship between some of the complex molecules typically found in oil and those found in algae, such as (IIRC) chlorophyll.
It’s possible, of course, that oil is of abiotic origin, but the conventional geological theories of oil’s origin seem to have been quite useful in finding oil and gas deposits.
Amen to Dead things gone by by in time long long ago...the fact that Oil is generated by the earths magma core has been known longer than climate change.
My wonderful biology professor in High School, also a long time ago, stated from his studies, that peat and coal may all be from surface organic matter to include flora and fauna, but that the quantity of oil supply is so large as to make it impossible for the age of dinosaurs to have created it all the Oil...
...and today we find more gas and oil in hugh supply almost daily, it always takes a skeptic scientist with a clear mind, to see truth... to that peak oil has been in the interest of both sides of the argument, Oil Corp. want limited supply for higher profits, earthers for reduced growth...we need to real science to guide public policy...
