Peak Oil and Climate Warming

There is something that confuses me and tends to make me think that someone is lying to me. That is when someone tells me two things that contradict each other in effect. Let me lay this out for you.

There is a common belief amongst people that are into green energy that we have or will soon hit what is called "peak oil". Peak oil is the idea that there is a limited amount of oil in the earth and that it will never increase. Now, originally we were told that the oil came from dead dinosaurs and of course there are no more dinosaurs. The reality is that oil did not come from dead dinosaurs, I was brought up on a lie by Shell and public schools. The current claim is that oil comes from algae, they sort have to go in that direction because there is so much oil deep beneath the sea and dinosaurs did not live there. In either case and regardless of what oil came from, it is either limited or it is not.

The second thing that we are being told is that oil and it's emissions when it is burned causes global warming. The fact that the planet has actually gotten colder over the last 15 years and followed the same pattern as all the other planets and sun spot activity in the universe doesn't seem to matter. For purposes of this post it really doesn't matter, I have a different question.

If we have reached peak oil then by definition we don't have to worry about CO2 emissions from oil being burnt because we can only burn less and less as we will not find more and more. Why should I worry about how much oil we burn if we will be out of it in 20 years? After that, CO2 levels will have to be reduced because there will be no oil to burn. The earth then according to these scientists would have to almost immediately return to normal levels, non-industrial levels or CO2. Think about it. You can worry about one or the other but to worry about both makes no sense.

So we may be experiencing peak oil; but, if we are then global warming from CO2 is irrelevant as when the oil runs out, we cannot burn it and cause the horrible problems that we are told it causes. Now if you do not believe in the concept of peak oil then you have to believe that oil is constantly being produced and explain where it is coming from. I have only ever read that oil is a finite material and I am in my 50s.

Let us consider another question, Canada has billions of barrels of oil in it's rocks, we call this shale oil. How did it get there and how come it did not sink. We have been told that it takes millions of years for these dinosaurs to become oil and even the algae to become oil. Oil left to the elements loses it's useful properties fairly quickly, in a lot less than one million years. It also separates when exposed to the elements.

Something is wrong with the whole story about oil. There is no scientific reason that a planet would need to produce oil to have life on it, none. I hope that you understand that we have only been using oil for a couple hundred years. Gas for even less. Oh, we used tar but it wasn't used as a fuel, it was used as a coating and others were used too, it was not needed for man to exist. Wood has been the energy source for most our existence. Animal fat and oil was used for lighting and even that is only for a couple thousand years.

Now I am going to prove to you that we have been lied to. Carbon dating allows us to date the age of organic material. We cannot carbon date the age of rocks or inorganic materials. If oil is organic, which all scientists agree on, then why haven't we carbon dated each oil field? What if we had and found that the oil fields each had a different date, that they did not all occur at once? We do have two possibilities, either all oil was created at the same time and is a limited nonrenewable resource or it has continued being created for history. If it was not all created at once then odds are, it is still being created and not a limited resource. This is simple math and logic and considering the money involved, I am pretty sure that someone has carbon dated the oil fields and has not released the information. Actually, that sort of tells you what the answer is, oil is still being created.

Let me ask this question, if oil is what made the industrial revolution and if it is as valuable as we are told, if it is used to energize our world then shouldn't we have tried to figure out where it came from and how it was created? If I sold oil and made trillions of dollars from it, I would want to know how it was created. I would want to know if I could create it myself, like the Nazis did. Yep, while having the living world bombed out of them, the Nazis were able to produce and inexpensive oil and it did not come from corn. Unfortunately, I was told as a kid in school that gosh darnit, we didn't find out how they did it. Now we did manage to capture the scientists that created the rockets; but, I guess they didn't know how the Nazi's created oil. Sounds like garbage to me.
