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's moons has more liquid fuel than than all the oil and gas deposits of Earth, which rather pokes a hole in the idea that fossil fuels are only ever made from fossils.
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 — but we've known this for years. In fact even in 2005 a NASA scientist quietly admitted that Titan had methane that wasn't made from fossils. But where was NASA in the 18 years since?
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's atmosphere and even forming in deep cold interstellar space. (Zhao, Parker, Freissinet) They also found benzene on Mars.
On his CERES sites, Willie Soon explains that in practical terms, we don't 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're 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.
What we do know, says Jo, is that they're not trying to understand this, and they're not trying to tell us the whole truth either. We've taught two generations of children that there is one simple narrative, and if you questioned it you were an idiot. Isn't it time a civilization dependent on these fuels had an honest discussion about where they came from?
There's a lot more in the interview about his experience at Harvard, and climate science and the sun.
Willie Soon worked at Harvard in astrophysics for 31 years but prefers the freedom to say what he thinks and to research what he wants. He co-founded CERES-Science where you can find his other latest papers.

Reader Comments
Anyways we are having a discussion about our travels in israel and i brought up the 'Jesus' boat found in galilee lake, Victor brought up said (unknown to me) Velikovsky and that i should read Worlds in Collision!
I've been a Velikovsky fan since Sr. public school - none of my teachers could fathom the departure from 'mainstream' science but I could see evidence of Velikovsky's hypothesis everywhere I looked, even in other school texts.
He is my original 'battle cry' LOL!!
It goes like this: any history we agree with is true, any history we don't agree with a fanciful myth.
Taken to its logical conclusion there's no point in believing in yesterday.
Logically the only reason we are not supposed to believe in 'yesterday', is because 'yesterday' some well known religious group began to do nasty things to the rest of humanity. Should we know the truths of yesterday, we will discover the truths hidden by that well known religious group. Discovering truths is 'anti-semitic' you know...
I suspect in order to travel by sea they needed to carry the heavens in their heads, so from the firmament above they would know exactly where they were. Navigators in the south seas and some desert nomads still use this.

What about the opposite, how does someone like Darwin become so prominent unless his narrative serves the agenda - Evolution was the "proof" needed to support Uniformitarianism
Maybe the same could be said about the Big Bang Theory - first proposed in 1927 by Roman Catholic priest and physicist Georges Lemaître
He summarised his theory (which goes way beyond the question of the origin of oil) in the book called The Deep Hot Biosphere - The Myth of Fossil Fuels: [Link]
A fascinating read from one of the most independent-thinking and original scientists I’ve ever come across!
The book finishes not where it starts on a quietly argued scientific beliefs.
And cancel/fire/silence everyone who tries to.
If we don't shout this out then you and I and all the other 'carbon based' life forms on this planet will perish at the hands of the shit-based life forms that seem to have taken over our media and leading institutions.
I have experienced this dozens of time during the plandemic. Wich doesn't mean I don't continue to try ...
I miss him.
I am glad you are here!
But I get what you mean, thanks for the flowers !
But how can something made by the earth become more valuable? By changing its name to create an illusion of scarcity or rarity. "Fossil" fuel for instance
You don't get alkanes from organic material... impossible at any stage of earth's atmosphere... what do I know, just a Microbiologist.
Do ''they'' ever, about anything ? AFAIAC ''they'' have driven the point home, we are meaningless, inconsequential to ''them''. Who the F do they think they are ?
You and I must believe ourselves to be better than they are and disregard their utterances lest we continue down this path of intellectual servitude.
That was the best eight minutes I've spent since I broke up with my girlfriend.
That definitely sounds as though you had another horse all good and ready to jump on.
True love is forever - rodeo sex is for losers got nothing better to do than claim victory in some sort of sick twisted time challenge - that is pathetic no doubt.
What is a "fossil fuel" would be an initial question.
For goodness sake - there are a multitude of possible origin for organic chemicals, but I think it is basically proven that trees from so long ago and other vegetative matter did have a role in the formation of coal, and oil in liquid form can come from so many origins but one of that must be fat - lastly natural gas - methane - for goodness sake that is a pretty fundamental molecule - there are so, so many ways it can form when you have carbon and hydrogen together.
BK
... and many other moons and gas planets too.
So how come there is this big surprise ?

So fossil fuels could be the action of the H+ combining with carbon compounds or even being processed by lifeforms within the planet.

Yes Taschen, and an expanding Earth is very plausible and is described in circumference readings over the years apparently.
It is interesting the amount of information that is being uncovered contradicting the simple narrative of education.
Topics on some articles bring out lots of links and information in the commentary on this site.
I wonder just how many scientific flunkies have actually thought of the future for their own children after they have pushed this very expensive nonsense for decades. Those who pay their blood money will fleece the people of everything they have and leave them ill prepared for what comes next.
For those who work for the IPCC and have their head in the NWO trough, along with greedy poison spraying pilots, i say get another jab quick.
As a non scientist science looks like a series of Ponzi schemes policed by establishment 'peers' whose main purpose seems to be perpetuating their scam and harvesting any breakthroughs in order to keep them secret and in the hands of their sponsors.
It's about time this stops.
On a somewhat related note, Quatar stopped LNG shipments, because ... you know : [Link]
Remember that Russian oil ceo who was quickly thrown into jail. Apparently he was getting too friendly with western interests and that company he ran knows how to drill for deep oil 🛢.
And there are a lot of countries happy to serve as middleman if they can profit from it. Just get an old map of the Soviet Union, and compare it to a recent one. Most -istans (except Pakistan and Afghanistan) are ex-Soviet republics.
By the way, Russia went a different direction in regard to IT and computing about a decade ago, as I heard. They adopted the open SPARC design, a VLIW architecturerelying massively on compiler optimisation. And developed it ever since. Here a Wackopedia list of current (known) implementations : [Link]
If you read carefully, there is one item/user that stand out : I suppose that tells us something - the washing machine story is bogus ...
But I think they don't have the diversification capacity to produce overy logic, networking and whatnot IC on their own. But luckily, most fabs are located in ... China !
I didn't know that about IT, but I'm glad they have done that. It's crazy how bottlenecked compute is based on 75 year old design strategies.
I would say, they force the industry to come up with something that works (best), not something that promises the most profit. And for sure they did not lower their education standard down like the West ...
The US army does not sign anyone with an IQ lower than 84, and that's as standardized and simplified of a career as you can find, meaning there are a fair amount of adults in the US too dumb to work. But there's also a fair amount of smart adults stuck in intergenerational poverty and bad information loops that could benefit the whole if we didn't have requirements for 4 year degrees in almost every professional job.
Anyway, it's a problem to have able-bodied adults with disabled minds. There is work for them, but with all the illegal immigration and undocumented migrant workers, an employer will take a smart illegal over a dumb citizen any day. They're cheaper and the employer is almost guaranteed to never get caught, and if they do, the cost of getting caught is factored in to their business model, just like the cost of putting a dangerous drug on the market is factored into big pharma's negative externalities.
My younger told me she had "science class" today, and "unimportant subject". Drilling deeper, it is physics, chemistry and biology at once, and in two week-hours
At my time, all three of them were required for a-levels, especially physics. And not "unselectable" for final exams. As I heard, this is a thing of the past now. Don't know if it is true, though ...
But to continue my trope about Russia and the semiconductor industry ...
Perhaps you remember the "stone age", with DOS, and i286 & i386 computers. I never understood why the awkward and inefficient 80x86 architecture was choosen to carry the whole industry. After all, it was a hoked-up 8-bit architecture, optimized to pack as much instructrion codes into 8 bit as possible. It came to me only recently considering the history of M$ and latest developments in this industry. It is in the name of the company - INTEL .
As another side note : Wackopedia cites a 300 MHz clock.
On the upside, lower clock speed implies larger structural size, which implies much higher radiation/EMF immunity. A processor made for military, space and medical equipment.
He told me once "Every morning I pray to God to forgive me for bringing another computer into the world."
He is much more knowledgeable than I in that realm and could answer some of those questions. The first computer he overclocked had an 8086 processor. He's been overclocking ever since.
This is still the case. manufacturers specific parameter that all parts can fulfill under worst spec-compliant conditions. And that guarantees a decent chip yield. But most individual ICs do more.
I wonder how many zillion myriads of poor little squashed trilobites are in a gallon of petrol?
We must have had a lot of trilobites.
Gee, time must be long. A ctually, I think that's a bit more like it.
Sorry ... that articles are from the '70s and '80... so, it must be Soviet-communist propaganda.
Or not ?
I've enjoyed some of Bald and Bankrupt's forays into seeking out crumbling Uri Gagarin shrines, etc....[Link]
I always say "a good record is a good record" no matter the genre, no matter who made it.
It's the same with so-called Soc Mod architecture (socialist modernism) as it is with everything else.
Some of it works, some of it doesn't.
People live and die in imperfect circumstances. They live, they love, they create architecture, art, music, they move on.
Their progeny do the same, often under an entirely different set of imperfect circumstances.
