The oil and gas that travels to the surface has been deemed non-beneficial by scientists - however, the nutrients that these gas bubbles bring with them to the surface are definitely important. Oil seeps and gas seeps have been found to bring a swath of nutrients contributing to a nourishing environment for the microbial organisms.
Nature. How about that.

There are some scientists that think we are “carbon starved” compared to the era of the dinosaurs.

Wait..I though the Gulf Coast was devastated for centuries.
You mean it isn’t?

I have many hours of first hand observation flying low level over the Gulf of Mexico ... There are Oil Slicks everywhere, they are Natural, Hundreds (probably Thousands) of years ago the Native population used the tar balls that washed up on the Beach to seal their clay pots, start fires, make torches etc etc etc
Hundreds or Thousands of years ago the fishing was probably GREAT and the Climate was NORMAL (pls don’t tell ALGORE)

Our son worked up in AK for a few years after the Exon Valdiez spill. He went down where the spill occurred and said that where those greenies had “cleaned up” it was like a desert, but where they hadn’t nature had pretty much gotten things back to normal.
Seems to back this up.
