Crude oil is formed from the remains of dead organisms (diatoms) such as algae and zooplankton that existed millions of years ago in a marine environment. These organisms were the dominant forms of life on earth at the time. Does this not occur on your planet? You don't know what (if any) were dominant forms of life on Earth. That's a religion. Apparently you are completely unfamiliar with the Fischer-Tropsche process. All you need to make any hydrocarbon is heat, pressure, some carbon, some hydrogen, and iron for a catalyst. All of these conditions exist underground pretty much everywhere you go. Oil is found well below any fossil layer, and well below any 'marine' layer. It percolates up through the rock and becomes trapped here and there close enough to the surface to make it practical to drill (in some cases, it reaches the surface and you can just scoop it up). The Earth is a giant Fischer-Tropsche machine. Look at where the big oil fields are located: The Mideast. The north slopes of Alaska. The North Sea. The Caribbean all the way up into Texas and Pennsylvania. Off the shore of the SOTC and on down into Mexico. All along plate edges, especially where spreading action is taking place. If you are willing to go deep enough, you can find oil anywhere you care to drill. No 'marine' seabed necessary. The Russians, going deep enough, found oil (very deep!) in the middle of Siberia. The States and Canada, using new techniques, can make use of oil containing sandstone in the middle of the continent. It's always been there, just never practical to get at until recently. Methane can come from bacterial action, or from a Fischer-Tropsche reaction. That's why methane is often found with oil fields. Crude is either 'sweet' or 'sour'. In other words, it may or may not contain sulfur (which makes oil 'sour'), which comes from volcanic activity. Some wells are poisonous, as they contain hydrogen sulfide (a toxic gas, very dangerous, as it forms sulfuric acid in your lungs). It is the same gas that appears in some volcanic eruptions. Oil is a renewable resource. So is natural gas. Oil wells that have been pumped dry can be capped, and they are full of oil again after a fairly short time. Entire fields behave this way. It doesn't take millions of years to make oil. It can be done using equipment by us in a few hours. It's not practical for us to make our own oil in most cases, since it takes more energy to put into heating and pressuring the gasses to make oil than you get by burning the resulting oil.

James___ ★★★★★ (5513)	The simple reason why some people don't believe in fossils is because they don't exist yet. You'll need to wait 100 Million years. And then they'll be able to say what a fossil "is". It's just that we're living in "pre-history".

But try comparing Ensenada Mexico and Perth Australia. Same respective latitudes in North and South hemispheres. and very similar weather. Heres a chart.

Regarding carbon, it does not provide information about any previously living organism from which it came. Yes, there might be fossils in the coal but they don't burn; they are either "impurities" or they are merely impressions but the fact remains that there is nothing about the carbon that is a fossil and the carbon is what we burn for fuel. .

Spongy Iris wrote: It looks like the nicest weather was about 11000 years ago, and coolest weather in 10000 years How do you know? Were you there? The greater Earth's axial tilt angle, the more extreme our seasons are, as each hemisphere receives more solar radiation during its summer, when the hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, and less during winter, when it is tilted away. Larger tilt angles favor periods of deglaciation. Why would it? A larger tile angle effective enlarges the Artic circle and the Antarctic circle, where the Sun doesn't rise at all during one or more days of the year. Spongy Iris wrote: There is also the orbital eccentricity cycle, the 100,000 year cycle of which lines up to how often scientists think ice ages have happened in the past 800,000 years. How do they know? They don't. This is religion. Spongy Iris wrote: In about 100,000 years, Earth will be further away from the Sun much of the year because the orbit will be less circular and more oval. Did you know that aphelion (the time when Earth is furthest from the Sun and in the slowest part of it's orbit) occurs during summer in the Northern hemisphere? It takes place in mid July. Perihelion, Earth's closest approach to the Sun, and also when it is moving fastest during it's orbit, takes place in mid January, which is winter in the Northern hemisphere. It's easier to supply a heat source that's hotter than ice, than it is to supply a heat sink that's colder than freezing point. Nope. Most of space will cause water to freeze almost instantly. Spongy Iris wrote: Melts faster than it freezes. That's why hotter summers/higher tilt favors deglaciation. Denial of the 1st law of thermodynamics and the Latent Heat law (Q=mL, where 'Q' is the heat energy (in joules), 'm' is the mass, and 'L' is the latent heat constant of that material (such as water)). Whether endothermic, or exothermic, the value of Q remains the same. Spongy Iris wrote: OK 100,000 year orbital eccentricity cycle is religion. Where can I find the holy book from which this religion is derived? Religion isn't a book. All religions are based on some initial circular argument (also known as the Argument of Faith or simply 'faith), with argument extending from that. That's what a religion is. Religion is a belief without proof. Faith. Religion uses supporting evidence, while science does not. Spongy Iris wrote: Summers in the southern hemisphere will tend to be warmer than summers in the northern hemisphere from the result of the Sun being closer to Earth in January than July. Nope. Nothing unusual about summers or winters in the Southern hemispheres. The hottest temperature ever recorded at a weather station is in Death Valley, in the summer, in the Northern hemisphere. Thinking is still... At maximum obliquity, Most direct sunlight in summers will have a bit greater melting effect than the freezing effect in winter. And at minimum obliquity, Least direct sunlight in summers will have a bit lesser melting effect than freezing effect in winter. Denial of 1st law of thermodynamics and heating index. It takes the SAME amount of energy to convert water from ice to liquid as it does to convert liquid to ice for the same amount of water. Spongy Iris wrote: Religions are based on holy books like the Bible, Quran, Gita, etc. People believe they are words given by God. WRONG. Religions need no holy book of any kind. An example is Shinto. The ONLY characteristic common to all religions is that they are all based on some initial circular argument, with arguments extending from that.

He knows this is what I hope to demonstrate with the experiment that I've been pursuing. It's basically CO2 + H2O +hv > CH2O and O2. That demonstrates both fission and fusion. Fusion allows for CH2O3 while fission allows for H-CHO (CH2O) and O2. One is nuclear physics while the other is atmospheric chemistry. While this is funny, it is a correct statement.

duncan61 ★★★★★ (2021)	I had heard about running diesels on cooking oil and was interested and was in a place and time where I could experiment.I used to do the recovery at the roadhouse as well which was mainly trailer bearings but I did pull 2 japanese guys out the mud flats.On a map it looks like you can drive to the coast but it is not possible.I had split rims and let my tyre pressure down to 7psi and carefully moved out on the mud my ute was empty and I had a snatch strap.I took a big run up in reverse and yanked them out pulling both their bumpers off in the process.They were still super greatful and gave me $200.Their other option was stay there and die.Everyone I met commented on the fish and chip smell.It was a good party trick

duncan61 ★★★★★ (2021)	Because it originally formed from plants, coal contains mostly carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Coal helped create the carbon-based branch of chemistry we call "organic chemistry." When coal is heated in the absence of air, its complex mixture breaks down into simpler forms.23 Oct 2019.I am enjoying this.I am just searching and copying stuff but I am learning new stuff which is why I joined this forum.ITN you stated you did not know how coal formed so you are out and IBDM you stated come to me with the hard stuff and I have cunningly led you to a hard place.You are beaten oik so give up now.I can call it fossil fuel with impunity
