hydrocarbons in all likelihood are a combination of many organic decaying substances but also a result of chemical reactions with in the earth mantle and the greatest nuclear reactor within the outer layer of the earths core

The many maladies induced by consuming hydrocarbons far exceed the benefits IMHO, and this is not only the new evolving viruses and microbes due to GHG but also unhealthy DNA mutation that lead to various type of cancers and weakening of human biological defenses.

8000 parts per million CO2 down to 250 parts per million = so much carbon buried as coal, peat, tar, goo, oil, gas and limestone that you should not be surprised that 100 years of supreme effort producing megatons of fuels, lubricants, plastics, cement and whatnot has got us only back up to 400ppm which makes plants breathe a little easier though they'd prefer 1000 ppm.

The mechanism of hydrocarbon formation is oceanic sediment of quadrillions of ocean lives, trundled to subduction zones, cooked 200 km down at enormous pressure and floated up along with light volcanic material to either be exploded into the atmosphere or leaked into sedimentary storage.

Geosyncline sediment is another mechanism. Coal and peat are from swamp trees. Limestone is the hard part of beasties and what a lot of it there is.

Thank goodness for engineers bringing all that doomed carbon back to life.

The next stage is genetic engineering to cut out the middle man and donkeys to produce just the steak without the rest of the animal. Plant eats CO2, clever fungus eats cellulose, next microbes eat fungus, then cattle genes produce steaks.

The price of donkey heads will fall.

Free CO2 is a very good thing. Heating in Mann Made Warming due to CO2 is a bung theory.
