This paper on abiotic petroleum has never been systematically refuted. It claims that Russia has known the truth for years.

Oil and water are perpetually naturally renewed resources, the scarcity trope is bullshit.
The whole of the planet's humans population, including animals can fit into Texas..Over population is also bullshit, It's a trick to bilk us.

https://www.gasresources.net/energy_resources.htm

The modern Russian-Ukrainian theory of deep, abiotic petroleum origins is not controversial nor presently a matter of academic debate.
>The period of debate about this extensive body of knowledge has been over for approximately two decades(Simakov 1986). The modern theory is presently applied extensively throughout the former U.S.S.R. as the guiding perspective for petroleum exploration and development projects. There are presently more than 80 oil and gas fields in the Caspian district alone which were explored and developed by applying the perspective of the modern theory and which produce from the crystalline basement rock.(Krayushkin, Chebanenko et al. 1994) Similarly, such exploration in the western Siberia cratonic-rift sedimentary basin has developed 90 petroleum fields of which 80 produce either partly or entirely from the crystalline basement. The exploration and discoveries of the 11 major and 1 giant fields on the northern flank of the Dneiper-Donets basin have already been noted. There are presently deep drilling exploration projects under way in Azerbaijan, Tatarstan, and Asian Siberia directed to testing potential oil and gas reservoirs in the crystalline basement.

Calculate the amount of oil we use globally per year. Now multiply that by the number of years you believe abiotic oil has been being produced. Once you have that number, find out the amount of water the oceans of the world hold. Wonder why the oil number is much larger. So large that not only would all of the oceans be filled with oil but also all the land other than mountains.
Of course you might reply that abiotic oil production happens on a much smaller scale. That's why the planet's surface isn't a mile deep in oil. But if that's true, then it means we are using up oil faster than abiotic processes creates it, so we will eventually run out.
If you want to stick to the abiotic theory of oil production there's really only one way to make the numbers work: become a Young Earth Creationist. If the Earth is only 6000 years old, abiotic can be true and produce fast enough to serve our needs.

If petroleum has an abiotic source, why are there biomarkers in it? The hand-waved ""real"" source of petroleum somehow creates the exact molecules that living things do. With different oil fields showing different biomarkers presumably because they're produced by different non-biological processes with somehow mimic the effects of biological processes almost perfectly. Cool.

Also who gives a fuck? What matters for scarcity is how quickly we find new reserves vs how quickly we exhaust existing reserves, whatever their origins may be. More importantly if the world takes meaningful action on climate change we'll need to not extract all the oil we've already found, so running out shouldn't be a problem at all.

Thing is, chances are the worlds population will never exceed about 12 billion. The continuous population growth we see today is mostly centered in developing countries which, if developed, will see drastically lowered birth rates just as in the rest of the developed world. Case example: Most european countries which went through massive birth rates in the 19th/early to mid 20th century saw continuous decline of birth rates till the 21st century, at which point birth rates actually dropped below the number of people dying, which means that the natural population would be shrinking were it not for immigration.
That said, if birth rates dont lower naturally then there still is the china patented one-child-policy.
So, no need to worry.

It depends what you mean by "space." Layers of sediment are buried consecutively, moving down from the surface over millions of years.

Rock is just sediment that has been compacted.

NGO who push that lie are going to end up being the source of more misery than any other group in human history. NGOs have conducted very limited trials in third world villages where they've been able to reduce birthrates by lowering infant mortality, providing universal elementary education, sex education to children, easy access to birth control, and high food security, which reduces the need to have children to work in the fields.
It works great. Birth rates go down. Right until the NGO leaves. Even with the NGO policies still in place, once the NGO leaves, the birth rates go back to where they were. Even with the lower infant mortality, increased access to education, birth control, and food security, the villagers go back to pumping out huge numbers of children.
The only way to prevent this is to give every single village and neighborhood its own NGO that is permanently stationed there to babysit and nanny them.
As for you European example, you might not have noticed by Europeans and third world peoples are different. You probably believe in blank slate theory so you think if Europeans did X when they became economically prosperous, that all other population groups will do so too. But there's no reason to believe that will happen and as we've seen above, in practice third world people will reproduce out of control if given the resources to do so. Rather than lower birth rates with increased prosperity, they increase them.

Yeah. Hydrocarbon fuels have nothing to do with ancient life, they are produced in the mantle from methane.

To understand this, Thomas Gold's book "The Deep Hot Biosphere" is important, but it is largely summarizing Russian language work. The abiotic origin of petroleum was understood in the Soviet Union in the 1950s, it was hotly debated in Russia through the 1960s, and it became conclusively established by 1970 (and the Russians subsequently proceeded to kick everyone else's ass in oil production). The idea was moronically politically rejected in the West due to incompetent private science inside oil companies, based on money, not on truth.

Oil never comes from living things. This was proposed in the USSR in the 1950s, during the All-Union push for petrochemical sources, the Stalin version of the Manhattan project, it was tested and debated throughout the 1960s, and it become dogma by 1970, as deep boreholes proved the theory correct beyond the level required for scientific certainty.

Although the Soviets weren’t keen for stupid Westerners to catch up, some people did try to publish these findings in the West. They were universally heckled and derided. It is still dogma to this day that there is a biological source for petroleum. This is a pure lie. Petroleum is formed in the mantle, from methane, whose source is the same as the methane of Titan, it’s primordial. It's more correct to say life is a petroleum product than to say that petroleum is produced by living things. The chain of formation only goes one way.

But because oil science is not public, it is nearly all in the hands of a heirarchical oil industry, this is impossible to say. Similar Capitalist stupidity in the West is “Global Warming denial”, “IQ”, “String Theory is Bullshit”, and all the other flat-Earth level denials of Soviet scientific advances. Reading Soviet science is like reading Hellenistic science in the Roman Empire, makes you weep for the civ that has just been lost forever.

I never said either of those things. I gave no value judgment concerning the global declining birth rate. I did not say it was good. I did not say it was bad. I said the global birth rate and population growth is declining, which is true.

It's possible that people will continue to reproduce, certainly. However, take a look across the board, the NIR of nearly all developed countries has plummeted significantly in recent years. Why? Because there is no economic incentive to have children. If it was that simple, there wouldn't be any need to import migrants by the millions. Pic related, the progression of the development of a country and the implications it has on birth rates.

If the world was orderly and decent, with most of it a nature reserve, and only a small part of it populated, it could support up to 100 billion people, relatively sparsely populated (compared to some contemporary cities).
I did the calculations myself. Space, energy, production, food, water, that sort of thing. Didn't do pollution, went for a techy context.

Yeah, you can fit into Texas if you ignore nearly every aspect of society (food production, water use (rivers dry up real quick), psychological impact), but even then it still doesn't even work logically.

>> No.12633590

For anyone interested, there is substantial evidence that oil and gas are biogenic. There are many molecules such as steroids that retain their structure for a long time, and the ratio of odd to even length chains depending on the origin also supports a polyketide origin

The mechanism is the same, only it doesn't require biomass, just carbon, hydrogen and other elements down in the deep with heat and pressure.

So tell me Mr. Strawman, how do you propose to make people whose cultures prize having large families "have less kids"? Remember, these are not people who are members of your GDP cult.

Your glib and shallow analysis that everyone does everything in order to maximize their economic productivity doesn't fit in with observed human behavior outside of one particular religious/ethnic group.

They actually charge around $2 per tank car. $800 for the lease, and it holds 400 barrels. Recently the price fell to $500 though. Unit trains usually carry 100 tank cars. So they move about 40,000 barrels at any given moment, BNSF makes about 80 grand per unit train per month. So I would estimate about $700.000.000-1.5 billion yearly, depending on price fluctuations and leasings

Canada's economy sucks frequently because it's highly dependent on commodity prices. Instead of finishing their natural resources into market ready goods, they ship out raw commodities for others to turn into products with much higher profit margins. Most of the profit on Canadian natural resources is made by non-Canadians because of this refusal of Canada to invest in adding value to their raw resources.
Instead of building a pipeline to US refineries, Canada should build their own refineries and then use/sell the resulting petroleum products.
