I have received a number of comments from folks today asking me to stop using the term “fossil fuels” because they argue that coal, oil, and natural gas don’t form from fossils or “dinosaur juice.” One follower even said I am undermining my otherwise good work by using it.
I also often hear the claim, “Scientists have found abiotic liquid hydrocarbons on Saturn’s moon, Titan, therefore oil isn’t a fossil fuel.”
This is a flawed line of reasoning.
First, let it be clear that the term “fossil fuels” does not mean that our petroleum products are derived from dinosaur remains. And dinosaurs aren’t the only specimens that leave fossils.
The term “hydrocarbon” is a broad term that is used to categorize any organic compound that is composed of hydrogen (H) and carbon (C) atoms.
Hydrocarbons, such as ethane (C₂H₆) or methane (CH₄), can be liquid if conditions are cold enough under the right pressure:
• C₂H₆ boils (becomes a gas) at –88.6°C (–127.5°F).
• CH₄ boils at –161.5°C (–258.7°F).
Given that the surface temperature on Titan hovers around –179°C (–290.2°F), it is indeed cold enough for oceans of C₂H₆ and CH₄ to exist on its surface. But just because hydrocarbons can be liquid at those temperatures does not make them “oil.”
Oil is far more chemically involved than C₂H₆ or CH₄. Crude oil is made up of a series of complex hydrocarbons, far more complex than anything encountered in space thus far in our discoveries.
All oil is hydrocarbons, but not all hydrocarbons are oil.
Got it? 🤔
Coal and oil are produced by long-dead biomass. More specifically,
🌿 Coal forms from decaying terrestrial plant material. Trees, ferns and other vegetation in swamps or bogs get buried beneath sediment, and the waterlogged conditions create peat. Over millions of years, that peat is buried and hardens due to pressure compaction.
🦠 Oil [and natural gas] both form from the remains of marine microorganisms such as algae and plankton. The remains accumulate on the seafloor, where over millions of years, they are subject to heat and pressure, forming a solid substance called “kerogen.” Over time, kerogen will undergo thermal cracking and eventually break down into complex liquid (oil) and gas (natural gas) complex hydrocarbons.
Scientists have not found either coal or oil on any other celestial body. It is true that natural gas may form abiotically since, as I mentioned previously, oceans of C₂H₆ and CH₄ have been discovered on Titan, but that’s it.
Calling C₂H₆ or CH₄ on Titan “fossil fuels” would be incorrect, but liquid C₂H₆ and CH₄ are neither coal nor oil.
The term “fossil fuel” is a fine moniker if used properly because that’s what coal and oil are.
And in the context of the global warming debate, arguing about the origins of fossil fuels is irrelevant.](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HMWEUaQWkAALKX7.jpg)

From what we’ve been hearing about digital ID, and indeed going cashless, this would be a very dangerous precedent.
Some have already spoken about programmable money.
Life and liberty would cease.
Jordan Peterson on Digital ID: "It'll bring in a totalitarian tyranny so 100% complete that it would make George Orwell's 1984 look like a picnic."
@MusicPills10 Lived it - loved it.
Epic.
This has to change!
Sadly, yes. He must go if he no longer defends Christianity. Even though all religions are not really the way to enlightenment, otherwise it would have worked by now. They breed division and exclusion.
She’s absolutely right. The King must abdicate because he no longer defends England
McDonald's loses lawsuit against chef Jamie Oliver, who proved that the food they sell is unfit for human consumption because it is highly toxic.
Chef Jamie Oliver won a lawsuit against the world's largest fast-food chain.
Oliver demonstrates how hamburgers are made.
According to Oliver, fatty cuts of meat are "washed" with ammonium hydroxide and then used to fill the hamburger patties. Even before this process, the TV presenter says, this meat was unfit for human consumption.
Oliver, a radical activist chef taking on the food industry, says:
"We are talking about meat that is sold as dog food and then served to humans. Aside from the quality of the meat, ammonium hydroxide is harmful to health." Oliver calls it "the pink slime process."
What sane person would put a piece of meat soaked in ammonium hydroxide into a child's mouth?
In another initiative, Oliver demonstrated how chicken nuggets are made: After the "best parts" are selected, the rest—fat, skin, cartilage, eyes, bones, head, feet—is subjected to a mechanical separation process called "Canica"—a euphemism used by food engineers. This blood-pink paste, which is deodorized, bleached, refreshed, and re-colored, is then coated in flour and deep-fried. It is typically fried in partially hydrogenated oils—in other words, toxic substances.
The food industry uses ammonium hydroxide as an antimicrobial agent, allowing McDonald's to use meat in its hamburgers that is unfit for human consumption. Even more alarming, however, is the fact that these ammonium-hydrogen-based substances are considered "legal components of the production process" in the global food industry, with the approval of health authorities. Consequently, consumers will never know what substances are in their food.
Please stop giving this fake food to your children.

@ClarksonsFarm1 Give us a shout if you need a hand!
Let’s make Britain brilliant again!
Metacognition, the ability to think about your own thinking, is considered the highest form of intelligence.
Clearly I t’s about who you know.
One big club.
Same old, same old.
Andy Burnham not even warmed the seat in Parliament & already its come out he gave his wife a 4 million contract for EV vehicles.
How much more corruption do we have to put up with?
Breaking News🇬🇧: "We need to build a movement that gets rid of the civil service, all of Blair's Laws and those who are actually running things, not the politicians.
The Blob are under the influence of Islamist networks. We need people in parliament ready and willing to sack these bureaucrats, if we can't do this nothing will change".
Former Conservative PM Liz Truss once again, reveals that sweeping changes are required in Whitehall and the traitorous totalitarian UK civil service, courts and those under control of CCP and Islamist overlords.
We need to hear this rhetoric from @RestoreBritain and @reformparty_uk otherwise we're just pissing in the wind.

@elonmusk Ask yourself- who’s funding and promoting immigration on this scale?
Look no further…
It’s a complex plan, played out over decades. A dying man’s fantasy in some sick, demented way.
Mauro Biglino is correct - the biblical 'God', singular, is translated from a word meaning 'gods', plural, and the gods (other-dimensional non-humans) have created the very simulated fake reality that we experience as 'real'. Meanwhile humanity has been manipulated to worship them under the collective and mistranslated name of 'God'.
Is there a higher collective force? Yes. Is it what religions worship? Absolutely not and it's long past the time that humanity woke up to this mega-con perpetuated upon them for millennia.
Endless religions all worshipping the force that controls them and then played off against each other for the benefit of that very same force.
See The Road Map in which I quote Mauro in a massive exposure of both human reality and its controlling 'gods' and how religion has been specifically created to myopia human perception and divide and rule.
Is happily vote for Rowan!
What we need is a change in thinking, not, business as usual.
Its us alternative thinkers that push society forward - get someone else to check the spelling, I’m the ideas guy.
There’s only one logical choice for the next PM of the UK.
Shameful.
