Harvey55, quoting Duncan61; .3 The warming must be detrimental to the planet An unambiguous requirement invalidates his null hypothesis. This is if we are to pursue this debate using logic. From the Seattle Post Intelligencer; The United States lost an average of 384,350 hectares (949,750 acres) of forest each year between 1990 and 2010. Since increased CO2 levels are associated with deforestation, is deforestation detrimental to the planet? Hopefully you accept the science that trees convert CO2 into O2. If not, then there is nothing to be discussed. p.s., Duncan61 stated that the warming and not the destruction of the environment/natural resources must be detrimental to the planet.

From you page: "Hydrocarbons require intense heat (well in excess of 200°C/400°F) and pressure (in excess of 5 atm) to form. We know this because we have replicated the process in labs, called the Fischer-Tropsche " This is true if you are working with Hydrogen and Oxygen gases as your starting point. So your statement should read: "Hydrocarbons can be formed from carbon and hydrogen under intense heat ...." So you are claiming this is happening right now? Where? How long does it take? Do you have any data on current formation of oil and gas naturally? Your page only addresses your objection to fossil fuels and describes a process for man made hydrocarbons (Fischer-Tropsche). |

You made a very clear claim on your website: "Hydrocarbons, ....are produced...miles deep in the crust where the petroleum and natural gas result from a natural Fischer-Tropsche reaction." It is a unequivocal statement answering the question : "Where does oil come from" and an explanation for ALL oil and gas in the ground. This is what's interesting because I of course accuse your team of the "Nothing can be known" stance. Yet here you seem to know something. Anything you'd call a "valid data set" involved? Anything at all of any kind? I certainly think abiotic oil is a possibility though most geologists lean toward the fossil fuel explanation and you know me, I like to follow the crowd of experts. What's odd is you and ITN making factual statements where usually you do not. Now being really sure of something (we never get to be 100%) is something I fully embrace.

Fossil fragments show up occasionally in the oil fields as well. Crude oil is a complex mixture of nasty crap, which needs sorted out, before we can pump it into our gas tanks at the 7-11 store. I don't believe there is only one way to do anything. Synthetic processes are generally short cuts. We want to make stuff simple.quick, cheap, and in huge volume, to improve profits. The Fischer-Tropsche process can produce fuel, but it's not crude oil, similar to what we pump out of the ground either. Crude oil contains hundreds of organic compounds, not all are useful as fuel or lubricants. Just too many similarities in the assortment of organic compounds found in living organisms, and crude oil, to completely dismiss the possible relationship. Regardless, 'fossil fuels', was used to describe oil and coal, a long time ago, politically correct or not, precisely accurate or not, doesn't really matter. |

I know that you completely agree with me because you personally know of no other way. Secondly, you are under the mistaken impression that the earth somehow is incapable of producing things in vast quantities. That is absurd. The earth operates almost exclusively on massive scales. So where are you getting this need for some other hydrocarbon source in order to somehow have enough?

Why would any rational adult believe that "dead animals" have anything to do with hydrocarbons that we discover in wells? What cemetary coffins do you believe contain petroleum? Which archaeological sites of the fossil record do you believe force researchers to wade through petroleum? Decomposition of dead things does not produce hydrocarbons. The Fischer-Tropsche reaction is the only one of which we are aware and it requires intense heat and pressure which simply are not present for dead things.

Sure, but if you are going to insist that there is another way then you really need to offer a little guidance as to what that other way might be. No human has ever published another method for creating hydrocarbons and your assumed process of organic decay is just a big mistake. Dead things don't convert into petroleum. I'm all ears if you can think of another way but it's not somehow my fault if you cannot. . I don't think i can [define it].

Dead stuff doesn't create hydrocarbons, because they are made of hydrocarbons. Every living thing on the planet, is made up of hydrocarbons. Don't need to whip ip a fresh batch to burn. Every hear about 'recycling'? Nature is pretty good that way... |

It produces hydrocarbons in all the known lengths. HarveyH55 wrote: Nope. Living things are made of water, carbohydrates, proteins, and a few trace compounds and elements. HarveyH55 wrote: Breaking down a hydrocarbon means it's no longer a hydrocarbon. HarveyH55 wrote: About a dozen of them, actually. Most are pentanes to dectanes, primarily septanes and octanes. There are a few with as many as 40 carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon, but these are rather rare. Some crude oil also contains sulfur compounds. This is known as 'sour' oil, as opposed to 'sweet' oil (without sulfur compounds). HarveyH55 wrote: Crude oil is crude because it is a mix of all different lengths of hydrocarbons. Refining crude oil is basically a process of sorting the mix into those of basically the same length. That's what the distillation tower at these plants is for. That's what it does.

HarveyH55 wrote: Ice cores don't show anything but ice and some of the impurities in it. It's not a time machine. Science does not use wild guesses about why something means anything. HarveyH55 wrote: The Russians have drilled the deepest holds. One when right through the Antarctic ice sheet. Another was drilled far away from any plate edge boundary in Siberia, yet they found oil all the same. It was quite deep, far below any fossil layer. It seems that oil is easiest to obtain at locations near plate edges occur, particularly where spreading action is taking place, or even some types of sheering action. Examples are the Alaskan fields, wells off the Pacific coast and in the Gulf, or in such States and regions, the Mideast area, and the North Sea area. All on plate edges, and all where spreading or sheering action is taking place. There are some exceptions, such as the oil sands found in the midwest United States and Canada, or the very deep wells in Siberia, but these are rare. Oil can be found anywhere, if you are willing to go deep enough, or if some formation traps it near the surface (such as oil sands).

Many fossils have been found in tar pits next to oil fields. The oil fields are the result of the decomposition of biomass. Think ancient peat bogs and moraines. In time, vegetation became crude oil. And when they leak bitumen to the surface, they can create tar pits. |
