The article and comments read as if they are a bunch of folks who have picked up the pillbox with the red pills but can’t bring themselves to open it. They haven’t grasped what is going on yet.
It’s strange that this seems like a politically charged opinion and, honestly, I’m not an expert. I can buy that coal and maybe even oil are mostly dead dinos, but it just seems unlikely to me that the vast majority of natural gas is decomposed organic matter.
With the sheer volume difference of the core + mantle vs. the mineable crust, even at miniscule solubilities it seems the trapped volume of anything light would be dominated by diffusion from below.
