But it isn't much of a point.
So is Earth the one and only place in the solar system than needs dead dinosaurs to make ethane, methane, et al.?
No, dead plants will do, dead salamanders are fine, dead butterflies.
Earth made methane without biomatter too billions of years ago. So do comets.You only need biomatter to make complex hydrocarbons some of which have millions of atoms in a single molecule, like buckyballs. And you need lots of heat and pressure and a lotta time. And you need some mechanism to trap these materials within the crust to process them.
But if you are asserting that crazy self replenishing oil theory, abiotic oil, then you have screws loose. Just sayin.

There is also carbon dioxide on Titan. What does that mean?
In 1996, ethane was detected in Comet Hyakutake,[6] and it has since been detected in some other comets. The existence of ethane in these distant solar system bodies may implicate ethane as a primordial component of the solar nebula from which the sun and planets are believed to have formed.

A "component" of fossil fuel is NOT considered "fossil fuel". Do you understand the difference?
Def of com·po·nent:
Any of the minimum number of substances required to specify completely the composition of all phases of a chemical system.
Get real, it is a hard and fast certainty that if humans keep consuming oil in vast quantities, but especially in exponentially increasing quantities, that peak oil will occur.
Same with peak coal and peak tar sands and peak copper, peak rare earth minerals, peak uranium, etc, etc.
It is mathematically impossible to be otherwise.
The resource pool is finite, our consumption curve is tending toward the infinite, do the math.
"Mathematically Impossible?"
REALLY? I did not know that every parameter had been identified to construct a perfect mathematical model? Where is it? If it exists, then you should be able to predict the price of oil tomorrow: What will it be?
I AM aware that "social science" loves to justify themselves by borrowing from the physical sciences. Most of the absurdity of "Peak Oil" derived from "exponentially increasing equations" finds justification in SOME physical science models. It works well enough, unless you actually know something about math. However, a little knowledge is dangerous.
Part parabolic equation could be said to be linear.
that was gibberish.
When consumption of a finite resource escalates exponentially the resource will eventually be consumed.
DUH!
Any argument to the contrary is futile.
NO ONE IS SAYING IT WILL LAST FOREVER.
Obviously you are not very well aquainted with the whole "Peak Oilist Arguement" = There will be no plateau, there will be a sudden, catastrophic dramatic decline in the availability of global fossil fuels.

What an unrivaled douche.
You can't even represent our argument accurately. Anyone who advocates peak understands the plateau (which we are currently on).... No one said anything about any "sudden, catastrophic decline" in supply, liar. The supply decline will be slow, while the economic ramifications will magnify.
The only thing sudden would be the ramifications of war(trade war, or military war) in advance of global financial panic, the risk of which grows with every passing month.
I'll address the rest of your emptiness later. Suffice to say, you can't counter the data. All you have are smarmy cartoons and irrelevant anecdotes. You're out of your league on this topic, evidenced months ago.
The difference between 40 years ago and today is that 40 years ago, "doomers" were incorrectly interpreting geologists data. Today, geologists themselves are telling us the ramifications of their data.Stop lying about a subject you obviously have no idea about.
You come off sounding like a hope-based creationist.And an arrogant ass.

LOL
This is funny.
Methane CH4, is a "Fossil fuel" on Earth but guess what? On Titan and everywhere else it's still CH4 and NOT a fossil fuel.
You got the heat and pressure part right but how much time do you think it take and --- why? lol
Your "Millions of atom" molecules were made in a lab that the Republicans must have exported to Titan.
By means of high-resoluton transmission electron microscopy, both C60 and C70 fullerenes have been found in a, carbon-rich Precambrian rock from Russia The fullerenes were confirmed by Fourier transform mass spectrometry with both laser desorption and thermal desorption/electron-capture methods to verify that the fullerenes were indeed present in the geological sample and were not generated by the laser ionization event. The mass spectra were measured under conditions sufficient to resolve the 13C/12C isotopic ratios for C60 and C70 and indicate that these ratios correspond to the normal range of isotopic values.

So just how big of a pile of plants, dinos & other animals did it take to create the Ghawar oil field in Saudi Arabia?
How was it possible to get that many dinosaurs to pile up so high & deep in that spot?
Why has Ghawar already produced far more oil than was assessed to be recoverable & still producing big-time?
War, Financial Panic!!!
For Christssakes, pull yourself together, dude.
Now Occidental ( OXY - news - people ) is breaking ranks in another way, by upsetting the commonplace view that the days of "easy oil" in the U.S. are over. Last year Oxy announced a new find outside Bakersfield, in Kern County, Calif., which is shaping up to be the biggest onshore oil discovery the U.S. has seen in three decades. It likely holds more than 1 billion barrels of oil (and natural gas equivalents) that will be easy and cheap to extract
That the gusher is situated in a hydrocarbon basin that has been picked over for 100 years validates the philosophy extolled by Oxy President Steven Chazen and Chief Executive Ray R. Irani: The best place to find new oil is in old oilfields.
It likely holds more than 1 billion barrels of oil
shaping up to be the biggest onshore oil discovery the U.S. has seen in three decades
It likely holds more than 1 billion barrels of oil
iow a 50 day supply for the US and enough to satisfy current global demand for 12.5 days.
underwhelming.
shaping up to be the biggest onshore oil discovery the U.S. has seen in three decades
even more underwhelming that the biggest onshore find in decades is only enough to last 50 days..... or less than 1/2 of 1% of what we require to sustain our energy profile.
It likely holds more than 1 billion barrels of oil

U.S. Petroleum Consumption

You are catastrophically stupid md20.
Your own link saidIt likely holds more than 1 billion barrels of oil
While the US uses 20 million barrels of oil every single day. That is common knowledge, do you need a link to it?
1 billion divided by 20 million = 50 days of oil at our current consumption levels.
You can't possibly be so dumb as to not be capable of the math can you?

Well it's a recession we are using 10% less than we were a few years ago. So this discovery represents a 55 day supply for the US.

Have you ever heard about the carboniferous period?
