What is “hogwash” the study, the conclusions, is it political science? The Warmers really don’t want to talk about volcanoes since just the ones erupting put so much crap in the air that it causes global COOLING.
I find it interesting that Yellowstone is close to the center of the pool.
Where do you think all that “sweet crude” is made? Right there under the Earth’s crust. The “abiotic theory of oil” maintains that oil is constantly being manufactured under the crust, while the “peak theory of oil” tells this unbelievable yarn that oil came from dinosaurs and there is only so much, once it is gone it is gone. So pay dearly for it at the pump.
These data is pointing to the idea that there is a vast amount of carbon down there, and when it is subjected to intense temperatures and pressures in the presence of oxygen and hydrogen produces hydro-carbons....a renewable resource.
