Those hydrocarbons belong in the air, where they provide the nutritional foundations for life and hopefully prevent reglaciation back into the ice age which has been on the planet for millions of years. The homeopathic 280 parts per million of CO2 before anthropomorphic CO2 as barely enough for plants to survive. It was at an all-time low because carbon had been stripped from the atmosphere since the carboniferous era when it was at about 6000 parts per million and was buried in vast cemeteries of coal, oil, gas, limestone, tars and shale. People have recycled the carbon back into the ecosphere. Plants are loving it. Crops are booming. Irrigation requirements are reduced. I believe that this is going to be one of the most important realizations that mankind will make...assuming that it goes beyond the fringes of the likes of you and me. Living organisms tend to cause the sequestration of the substances that are the building blocks of life and should be widely distributed. Carbon/CO2 is the most visible, but phosphates and Iron are high on the list too. This sequestration process has and will continue to create a scarcity in these basic building blocks unless interrupted by an outside force. This scarcity is a real threat to the long term viability to earth's current life forms. A beaver acting naturally will damage the ecosystems of other animals. They damage downstream environments as well as adjacent land that gets flooded. But nobody puts a value judgement on this because the beaver is acting naturally. We fail to accept that humans are doing what they naturally do. And that maybe, our role when doing what comes naturally, benefits the entire ecosystem. Outside of plate tectonics and weathering, we are the only mechanism to interrupt the sequestration process of the basic building blocks of life. Subverting what humans do naturally may have the most profoundly negative effect on ecology over anything else.
