Funk’s Science is Junk Science

Dave Funk has come out with a pretty astonishing statement. Apparently, we have unlimited supplies of oil. The core of the Earth miraculously just creates unlimited amounts of oil. This goes against the grain of all scientific thinking that oil is a fossil fuel that comes from the heating of ancient organic materials. Funk denigrates this well-established part of basic geology by saying it has much validity as global warming. (Which is a bit like saying the belief that the sun rises in the east is almost as absurd is believing that the Earth is round.)

There’s very little to add here. But it’s refreshing to know that when every scientist on Earth is wrong, there’s a retired airline pilot from Runnells to set them straight.
