The reaction is basically CH2O+O2=CO2+H2O when petroleum (organic) compounds are reacted in surface conditions (in the presence of air). This means that oxygen is used to oxidize the organic compounds and generates CO2. O2 will decrease and CO2 will increase as the reactions proceed.

some people are fundamentally unhappy and enjoy griping, yes. And since no job anywhere is perfect, there is always something that can be complained about if a person wants to look at things from a negative view. Of course, some jobs (or companies) ARE worse than others, so sometimes the...

Oh boy, apples and oranges. Sometimes it is the water that rises and falls, and sometimes it is the land, is pretty well about as simply as I can put it. Whenever and wherever you see sedimentary rock, except for very uncommon rock types, that place was once underwater. That doesn't mean that...

Kavekarst asked a couple days ago about weird bell sounds underwater (apparently near Haiti) and then we have this big earthquake. Anyone else think that my dismissal of the sounds as nothing odd was wrong? I think he may have experienced one of those odd precursor events that are mentioned...

Certainly. Air-water-soil is part of the earth system.

well, where did those people that Cain went to live with after killing abel come from? Not from Adam and Eve. There were other people not of Adam and Eve. A huge logical disconnect to claim all are descended from Adam and Eve only, even the bible says otherwise. {4:16} And Cain went out from...

Everything is relative. Ages for you is a brief blip from the view of nature. As to never being able to replace the lost wildlife, that is only true for species that go extinct. Otherwise, the species will return to the area when the area becomes as it was before man's intervention, at least...

no dip stick. Usually a little "container" located somewhere in the engine area near where the driver sits. Usually a fairly small plastic thing, that when clean and not covered with grime, is sort of see-through so you can see the fluid level without opening. Don't want to get any dirt in...

I can,t figure out how to keep my Word docs from exploding in size when importing (inserting as file) photos, even though the photo files are not big at all, say 500k jpegs. The word file containing 8 such photos can get bigger than 100 meg. Not pasting, inserting. Shouldn't balloon the file...

No, I wouldn't fight to impose my will on anyone. But I will fight to prevent someone else from imposing their will on me.

Several factors, several of which have already been suggested. I believe that it is ingrained in the american psyche to distrust proclamations from on high. And that is how the argument is often presented in the US. Al Gore is the poster boy for the cause, got an OSCAR, an oscar for pete's...
