Links? I actually dont know much about that situation.

Do you know the meaning of "continuous," son?

Basically. I've got a friend who's all like "We'll just find some new oil. It's not a problem." And it's so frustrating a dismissal, for while it may hold true for a good while yet if we're lucky, it will absolutely not continue to go that well.

Same with several kinds of rare metals we use in all sorts of tech. We're finding little enough that it should be a concern. You can't just make some new metal.
"We'll just dig and find some more!" is a dangerously naive attitude to have.

I'm sure oil organisations have no motive at all to promote that theory.

The theory is an old 16th century theory about oil essentially forming in the core and rising up through cracks in the mantle. It is as of yet merely a theory. Interesting for sure, but not wise to bet on.


EDIT: Umm... ok, I just realized that even the link you posted holds the position that the theory probably doesn't work, but should be looked into some more none the less. The most relevant bit:

The third and most substantial reason for discounting the abiotic theory is that the chemistry doesn’t add up. First, there doesn’t seem to be enough CO2 below the surface of the Earth to make the formation of oil possible. In scientific terms, the mass balance of the equation is errant. More importantly, however, is the distinct isotopic and biochemical structure of oil, which strongly support and organic origin. For example, helium that is trapped with hydrocarbon deposits (and is an inert gas so it does not react with anything), is of a specific character that means it almost certainly came from the surface of the Earth and not anywhere else.

Continuous rate of depletion far exceeding continuous rate of replenishment. That would result in what might as well be considered "no oil being left".

This thread sucks.

Par for the course.

tfw you've been pretending for a long time that you understand what "itt" means but you don't and you're too lazy to look it up.

itt=I think that

in this thread

Makes sense. I've definitely noticed that Americans are very keen on shorting any word or expression if they can. There's not a 100th as many of acronyms of various sorts in Danish. I've learned some bad habits here, using "tfw" and "tbh" now and then. I prefer spelling things out completely, but I'm not writing on a phone so I can easily say that.

EDIT: @Frown's version, that is.

frown's version is wrong btw

I do feel kind of embarrassed about it

So you're telling me people need an abbreviation of "in this thread"? Who even says that often?

swai

It's more that the abbreviation is there and encourages usage for the sake of internet cred.

If I say "Danes be confused about acronyms" without specifying that it's in this thread, people will think that I'm racist.

It's ok, we're white.

ymmv

whichever you want it to be ;-)

I like how you guys chose to ignore the part of my original post that stated that we need to stop using fossil fuels and rely mainly on green energy. Well done :clap:

Shut the fuck up Charles, you god damn piece of shit, I can't believe you thought you could talk to me as if you taint some basic ass pleb.

:laughing:

I agree with that though. I'm usually not reading every post in these several pages long fights. I missed that part: oops.

Don't vote for grindy. He'll take it personal, call you a homophobe and threaten to ban you.

He's prob'ly one o' them homersexual agenders.

Is this what happened? Or did Grindy get called Grindr one too many times?

Mods have been waiting to do that for a long time, I reckon. It's retarded, but expected.

How long is he out for?

oh no Merit got banned
