Cow farts. It all comes down to cow farts.  Point is there is so much we don't know (and are learning) about this dynamic Earth that could peg the sensitive models they've come up with that it doesn't come close to "settled science."

Which explains a lot.

Cow fart. It all comes down to cow farts. Point is there is so much we don't know (and are learning) about this dynamic Earth that could peg the sensitive models they've come up with that it doesn't come close to "finished science." "Settled science" is just a catch-cry from that wanker you lot had for a president...it is more akin to a wild arse guess by adolescent boys behind a toilet block in the remotest backblock in india. About on par with any opinion by that fat [bleep] that bitches about firearms.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Isn't oil a carbon based fuel, and if so, will this find or ones like it, affect fossil fuel theories?

Isn't oil a carbon based fuel, and if so, will this find or ones like it, affect fossil fuel theories? I don't think so, if I get the gist the article is talking dissolved CO2 more'n 200 miles deep, throught to be derived from carbon in the earth's crust (fossil fuels and seashells?) that got pushed under the North American plate during continental drift. 200 miles down still puts it in the outer 5% of the planet relative to the center, but more'n 195 miles below any known fossil fuels. If I'm reading the article right, just 0.004% of these estimated trillions of buried CO2 would exceed the amount of all our fossil fuel burning in any given year. OTOH, depending on how fast the Pacific plate goes under, if anything even close to that amount of this buried CO2 regularly escaped into the atmosphere it would all have escaped in just 4,000 years. All of this assuming they really can accurately assess the the contents of molten magma 200 miles down. Birdwatcher

"We might not think of the deep structure of the Earth as linked to climate change above us, Don't sound like much of a scientist, that never heard of, or thought about the gasses let loose in a volcano, or earthquake. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Anytime I read something that refers to 'meters" instead of "yards," or "kilometers" instead of "miles," I am immediately suspect!

There are so many things that 'man' thinks he can influence and control that it's comical at times. Ain't it though.... All the time spent sweatin' and frettin' over things that can't be controlled, while ignoring common sense everyday things that we can control.
