Bad take, and also completely false

Are you saying you believe in peak oil?

I’m saying I believe in reality and not half-baked conspiracy theories.

Disinformation sows ignorance, ignorance sows discord, and discord keeps us divided.

OK...I mean the most widely accepted idea is that peak oil is a conspiracy theory, but I guess if you believe in peak oil then that doesn't mean anything to you. Its a straightforward question, do you believe in peak oil?

I’ll give you a straightforward answer: I believe that talking to you is a waste of time and energy, because you’ve bought into a delusion, and no amount of facts or proof will change your mind

Okay, have a nice day then.

Oh I am

You said "completely" false. So you suppose that dinosaurs alone make up fossil fuels?

Decayed dead things of all kinds, not just dinosaurs. I don’t just suppose, there’s ample evidence to prove it. But I suppose you think that evidence is made up

The evidence is that socalled fossil fuels are not made from fossils. It's a product of oceans and therefore ongoing.

So what did you disagree with?

Product of oceans? Not made from fossils? Where is your evidence for that? That’s just pure nonsense

It sounds like you know something. Take a moment and teach us

It’s not my job to educate you. But I can see you’re a Jesus freak so I’m just gonna stop wasting my time, you wouldn’t listen even if I did 😂

Well, you already undermined yourself. First. You made an absolute statement. That, It was completely false, and then came back and said well, It's not completely false, but I don't like where you're going.

I don't think you've got anything to share with us.

What are you babbling about? I never said that it’s not completely false. It is completely false. I haven’t changed what I’m saying at all… I think you need to read my comments again, and stop making shit up.

Also, you have yet to make any statements to backup your outlandish claims. You have nothing to share either, I guess…?

You just keep babbling nonsense and then refusing to give any sort of explanation or reasoning. When pressed you just dodge the question and make some shit up about me undermining myself

I wrote among other things that, Fossil fuels don't come from fossils.

To which you replied that was completely false.

AND...

Later, you wrote about them being the product of definition. Which is true.

But it's decomposition NOT fossils. Which was my point and you agree.

It sounds like your just arguing for the sake of it.

No, you’re just arguing about semantics.

Your original point was that they’re a “product of the ocean”, and also “ongoing”. They’re a product of decaying matter and millions of years.

You also said that peak oil is lying to us.

Do you believe that crude oil is an infinite resource?

# Infinite?

>No, you’re just arguing about semantics.

Not at all. Semantics would be an argument about the definitions of words. We haven't even dipped a toe into that water. It's generally a disingenuous tactic anyway.

>Your original point was that they’re a “product of the ocean”, and also “ongoing”.

My original post was about that, and so far you agree. Biological matter still decays in the ocean as you say right in your next line.

But my first point is that _Fossil fuels don't come from fossils_. **And** you agree with that.

So then how am I completely wrong?

>They’re a product of decaying matter and millions of years.

It sounds like you think decay has stopped. Is that right?

>You also said that peak oil is lying to us.

Rather I said that peak oil is a lie. Could we use it all? Maybe, but peak oil in the 1970s was the false claim that we would run out by the end of the eighties. Since then the dates have changed but not the veracity of the claims.

>Do you believe that crude oil is an infinite resource?

**Of course not**. Infinite is an imaginary number. It's unquantifiable. That would be silly. Even water isn't infinite and we have a lot of it.

However, it's not a zero sum game either.

Fossil fuels like many things are renewable resources. The same process of decomposition continues. After "millions of years" and the enormous contribution made to the process all those years. Do you really think we've come close to burning it up in a measly 500 years?
