I find your blogs stance on global warming to be rather alarming. No scientist I've heard of is asking for a complete reduction of CO2 to 0. Certainly you are aware that respiration rates of plant tissues are often reduced when plants are exposed to, or grown at, high carbon dioxide due to direct effects on enzymes and indirect effects derived from changes in the plant's chemical composition? That c02 is a greenhouse gas capable of trapping thermal radiation within our atmosphere? Whereby an increase in temperature further increases water vaper and the release of methane from permafrost further compounding the issue. That we've raised co2 levels to the point where our oceans are acidifying as they accumulate co2, As algae blooms develop and then die off and sink re-releasing their c02 into deeper levels and creating dead-zones. That the ocean and global temperatures are rapidly changing from the paterns borne out over millenia, that increased temperature has shifted natural air currents which will lead to more unseasonable rains, flooding, and droughts. Colder air blown from glacier meltwater, the disruption of ocean stratum currents and cycling of oxygen. The creation of dustbowls and increase in the rate of forest fires. If you are the one to have written that post, I ask how you've managed to overlook the blatent profiteering activities of the fossil fuel industries and have somehow overlooked that greenland is now a puddle, that ice shelves are crumbling, that temperatures are projected to increase upwards of 10-20 degrees fareignheit without a reduction in c02, that king tides are already inundating coastal areas regularly, that areas which only saw 10 floods a year by rainfall are now getting over 100. Though I do believe it possible we have technological means other than solar and wind and nuclear for clean energy generation the only people I know still supporting fossil fuel consumption are fossil fuel shills and those they've tricked with misleading science campaigns.

Yes I wrote all that and I still back it 100%
Global warming is a total con - the planet is actually very slowly cooling and will be cooler than it is now for the next 110 000 years

What I'm also saying is that oil isn't a fossil fuel - it's abiotic.

Um, "peak oil" has always meant the capacity of the suppliers to band together to limit the supply of reserves. I never lived during a time when they claimed we wouldn't have enough... I've lived during the time where we know that if we burn a fraction more of the reserves we ruin the possibility of ecosystem survival. Un-extracted reserve volume is not affected by price. Though the value of those reserves is certainly affected by the price and difficulty of extraction. Sure oil may be "abiotic" as you call it. Though organic matter or atleast carbon and hydrogen being subverted towards the earths mantle whereby it is then redistributed into said reserves over millenia seems to be the case. Nobody is still claiming we are running out of oil... certainly the most easily accessible reseviors are being moderately extracted so as to not oversupply the market.... Of course opec and russia and others collude to set a higher per barrel price by limiting supply. Just as in the US we heavily subsidize oil companies and gas prices so as to not diminish its demand at the pump. Artificially propping up the market and preventing shifts towards renewables because oil companies pay more in bribes to politicians and give them cushy jobs afterwards. It's no surpise we barely increased fuel efficiency in the past 40 years, some argue its been decreased. I don't understand how you call peak oil a con of collusion and yet somehow claim climate change to be a con when they are the same corporations and individuals working together to ensure continued demand in spite of the clear global ramifications. I'd hope you are getting paid for your service to their cause....Perhaps you can get me such a job? Beep-boop.
