What if oil is not a fossil fuel? There is a hypothesis that hydrocarbons are produced inside a planet's mantle.

There is a little known scientific hypothesis that challenges our conventional wisdom about oil and gas. The abiogenic petroleum origin hypothesis proposes that petroleum was formed from deep carbon deposits, rather than from the decomposition of organic matter. ...
... If the abiogenic petroleum origin hypothesis were true, it would imply that petroleum resources like oil are not finite or derived from ancient biological matter, but instead are continuously generated through geochemical processes deep within the Earth's mantle and crust. This would have several implications for the abundance of oil and natural gas on Earth. ...
Article lists names of a few geologists and professors who have been bandying the hypothesis about. It notes that that "peak oil theory" has been used to drive up prices and I would add, of course, that it is another driver (a non-environmentally-linked one) for Net Zero nonsense.
Mind you, even if the earth could produce petroleum indefinitely, we may still be limited in our use of it somewhat depending on how fast petroleum percolates up through the rock into the voids from which we draw it out; we may be drawing it up faster than it can re-form even if this theory is true.
It might be worthwhile to revisite the oldest (and presumaby empty) oil wells and see if they are re-filling at all--these date from the mid-1800s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Oil_Well
At any rate, it's interesting and worth exploring as it adds another bit of intrigue to the whole de-carbonization movement.
So, I've been thinking about this and it has some pretty big implications about carbon emissions.
Oil being a fossil fuel presumes that all of the carbon in oil was, at one point, out in the atmosphere and was part of the natural cycle of the world. Meaning that once the oil ran out, the carbon in the atmosphere would be at the maximum of Earth's origin. We couldn't actually make the earth uninhabitable due to the 'water vapor feedback loop' they claim extra carbon in the atmosphere would cause.
However, this flips on its head if oil is produced deep in the earth's crust and has nothing to do with the carbon cycle of life on the surface. Burning the oil puts the carbon in the atmosphere, and we could eventually exceed what the planet could deal with on its own, as the climate alarmists fear, making them CORRECT in that we should be putting our focus on making sustainable energy sources. The irony being that while we aren't likely to ever fully run out of oil, we would run out of the planet's ability to handle it and we'd need to restrict our use of it anyway.
Reading comprehension isn't your forte is it
He was saying that if oil was a fossil fuel then it would have originated from above the Earths crust so burning it wouldn't introduce anything into the atmosphere that wasn't originally there, same as the cow farts you brought up for some reason.
