They didn\u2019t tell us, the term \u201cfossil fuels\u201d might be wrong too<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dr Willie Soon unleashes on the failures of climate change and modern science for 40 minutes with Tucker Carlson (see below). As an opening he explained how one of Saturn\u2019s moons has more liquid fuel than than all the oil and gas deposits of Earth<\/a>, which rather pokes a hole in the idea that fossil fuels are only ever made from fossils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially a frozen, lifeless moon with no dinosaurs, forests or peat bogs, somehow has lakes of methane.  Not only does Titan have liquid seas of hydrocarbon fuel<\/a> \u2014 but we\u2019ve known this for years. In fact even in 2005 a NASA scientist quietly admitted that Titan had methane that wasn\u2019t made from fossils<\/a>. But where was NASA in the 18 years since?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon explains that Titan proves that abiotic oil and gas formation is true. In 2009 an experiment showed that when methane is put under great pressure like the kind we find 50-100 miles underground, it can form more complex hydrocarbons. (Kolesnikov). Several papers in the last dozen years find more exotic kinds of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons all over the place, like in Titan\u2019s atmosphere and even forming in deep cold interstellar space. (Zhao, Parker, Freissinet) They also found benzene on Mars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On his CERES sites, Willie Soon explains that in practical terms,  we don\u2019t know how much of the oil and gas on earth is made without fossils (in an abiogenic process). It could be forming 50 to 100 miles down, but we\u2019re only drilling 6 to 8 miles deep. I seems we have little idea. Even if abiotic oil exists on Earth, it may form too slowly to be useful. Though there have been these odd claims out there for years that some oil fields are refilling<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we do know, says Jo, is that they\u2019re not<\/em> trying to understand this, and they\u2019re not trying to tell us the whole truth either.<\/strong>  We\u2019ve taught two generations of children that there is one simple narrative, and if you questioned it you were an idiot. Isn\u2019t it time a civilization dependent on these fuels had an honest discussion about where they came from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a lot more in the interview about his experience at Harvard, and climate science and the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ep. 62 If fossil fuels come from fossils, why have scientists found them on one of Saturn\u2019s moons? A lot of what you\u2019ve heard about energy is false. Dr. Willie Soon explains.
