"All that oil used to be alive and having fun in the biosphere"

Is there any proof of that? I thought oil companies made up the rumour that oil is a fossil fuel to justify its high price as a "scarcity". Don't you think 100+ yrs later someone would have been able to prove it?

Carranza, but SUVs are good for the environment.

Oh, well, could I have possibly expected anything less from a former BP guy?

Yes, we need more CO2 so we might have more heat, less polar ice, fewer islands, more air conditioning, more concrete, more hurricanes and typhoons, fewer fish, bigger insects, fewer rain forests, fewer polar bears, fewer penguins, fewer seals, less marine life all around, more oncologists, more soap for more frequent bathing, stronger deodorants, worldwide Ebola and other nasty bugs, more tropical disease specialists, dirtier water, fewer wetlands, ad nauseam.

One bright spot, depending on your age and physical attributes, is that we'll need less clothing.

Yep, your probably right. The seas were full of iron too, and there was no oxygen in the atmosphere either. A gazzilion tons of sulphur and all sorts of chit in the floating around that would kill us today.

It's all locked up in the oil and hydrates etc as we know.
