Polls show that between one-third and one-half of Americans still believe that there is "no solid" evidence of global warming, or that if warming is happening it can be attributed to natural variability. Others believe that scientists are still debating the point. Join scientist and renowned historian Naomi Oreskes as she describes her investigation into the reasons for such widespread mistrust and misunderstanding of scientific consensus and probes the history of organized campaigns designed to create public doubt and confusion about science. Series: "Perspectives on Ocean Science" [12/2007] [Science] [Show ID: 13459]

From wiki: "The name implies a diet of fish yet it seldom dines on aquatic organisms. Early Dutch settlers noted its similarity to the European polecat (Mustela putorius). Fitchet is a name derived from the Dutch word visse which means 'nasty'. In the French language, the pelt of a polecat is called fiche or fichet."
A fisher is just a nasty polecat. You can get some oil from them (actually more like grease) but it's really not a significant amount.
Real re "Peat?" I thought you made the claim that there has not been enough organic carbon to have made the petro and coal we have. Yet coal has fossil plants, is shown to be gradually resulting from peat and lignite. Traces of porphorin, assumed to be from chlorophyll, are found in petroleum. If volcanoes produce coal and oil, wouldn't we see Iceland having at least some? How about Hawaii?
Real- "Does CO2 drive temps?" Your argument is predicated on all CO2 rise coming from higher temps, natural decay and volcanoes; not from fossil fuels. The ice cores jibes with Milankovich and don't preclude that CO2 from FURTHER elevated temps may also have resulted from oceanic releases CO2. This last iteration is different because of fossil fuel CO2 contributing to unprecedented Quaternary hi levels, plus CH4, N2O. Include deforestation, and figure for aerosols which may lessen.
Real- DuPont has committed to use bio-derived feedstocks. Valero & Waste Management have teamed up and bought a chunk of Terrabon LLC (their MixAlco tech uses waste mass from agriculture to make carboxylic acids, and various alcohols), an electric car could conceivably be powered for local trips with rooftop solar/windmills, earth tubes are already cutting heating/cooling use of fossil fuels. Food vs fuel: higher grain prices STIMULATE worldwide growers of corn. Drought is the problem.
This is another one jumping on the junk science band wagon to gain ill gotten funding for something that has been shown by legitimate scientist that we are coming out of a solar cycle into a cool period. This person is the product of leftist propaganda in our colleges.
Most western Scientist "Agree" that oil comes from dead plants and animals and thus why Aristolitle's "fossil Fuel" thing sticks despite extendive reserch done by geologists doing actual test on oil (mostly to better distill,hydroclean,crack,and re-combine fractions and dirivatives) and finding no "orgnics" and finding oil in the most unlikel places
Peek Oil?
That Theory/Analysis deals with the fact new drilling is sereverly limited or in the US's case banned and we are tapping out
They are called fishers and it's how various oozing stuff moves through the Earth crust(rollesyes)
Ah, and the research paper name/number that shows the Chemical breakdown of Petroluem as containing "organics" (eventhough the tempatures and pressures oik is found under would have destroyed such things thus why Oil can't officially be dated)
The debate of what oil is goes back to Aristotiles times were some thought it was inorganic.Others like Aristotile thought organic fossils made oil
RAA, a quick search reveals that the Tiger granite is uplifted and surrounded by lacustrine sedimentary rock, which is the oil-source rock. Nothing magical or abiotic about it. The geochemistry of the oil reveals lipids and other organics
Abiotic oil sounds more like snake oil.
And even allowing for some abiotic generation does not mean it is commercially available. If you're implying this is the answer to "peak oil", you're probably chasing the wind.
FACT: 50% of all animal species will be extinct in the next 40 years & humans will be lucky to survive this century. Lets get off YouTube and take some direct action. Copenhagen is looming and this could be one of our last chances!
