    Biden would be saying that about China if he blamed them.

    As much as yours. Probably more since I study topics first.

    Is Biden your “they”?

    pit would be nice wouldn’t it if there were some sort of international agreement among nations on climate change that could put pressure on China.........We could call it after the city where the talks were held x some place like Paris for instance

    Don’t waste my time unlike people digging out fringe theories on oil production - did you even google that book to read any critiques?

    Wind reminds me of the old sailing ships. They sat still when there was no wind.

    Solar only works part of the time. During the night, it does not work at all.

    This removing CO 2 from the atmosphere has more promise than Democrats want to admit.

    Nobody forces you to post here. I own that book or I might not recommend it.

    I do not believe you nor Biden believe the tripe about climate change.
    When solutions are presented, both you and he reject them to favor totalitarian control over humans you do not even know.

    You are not “presenting solutions” you are throwing out wild outdated theories

    As for studying the subject unless you have read the IPCC reports you have NOT “studies the subject”. You might have watched a couple of YouTubes that fed to confirmation bias but to understand the scope and principles you have to have read those reports - even if only to “know thy enemy”

    So, that makes this theory well over 20 years old. If it were a robust theory surely there would have been further research

    What is your explanation? Actually there is always more research.

    WHAT? Now you accuse me of not having read the IPCC reports. All of that without you even knowing at all.

    It is really less science and more politics.

    The very name tips you off if you stopped to think.

    Climate has always been changing. The term 'climate' itself refers to long term weather patterns. ...not permanant weather patterns, because those have never existed on earth.

    And that proves you have not read it

    Until you have read even one synthesis report you have not “studied” the subject

    Perhaps a book about understanding the opposite sex on a flat earth with a deep hot biosphere (whatever the hell that is) will solve all our problems at once?

    It is a constantly occurring event. It's not like "okay, let's wait a million years for some more oil to form". Oil, in fact, can be formed in a few short hours. All it takes to form oil is a source of carbon, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, lots of heat, lots of pressure, and be done in the presence of iron. These are all things that are naturally found underground.

    Drained oil wells can be capped and will refill after a while, ready to be drained again. We are not going to "run out" of oil anytime soon.

    Lots of heat and lots of pressure. How much energy is it that goes into making that heat and pressure, as compared to what the produced oil is capable of generating? According to the laws of thermodynamics the resulting energy stored in the oil must be less, which is why the oil that the earth produces naturally is so precious. The Sun and geothermal energy provides the necessary energy for the process.
    And I am well aware that the earth is constantly producing it. But if you are using it 1000x faster than the earth is producing it, it will run out. We are using it FAR faster than the earth can produce it.
