Aeg34-1014	Fossil Fuels Are Causing Global Greening Through CO2 Fertilization
	Quote:	NASAs own Earth science material lists nitrogen as the second-largest driver of greening, accounting for nine percent of the effect. Increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), also from the use of fossil fuels, account for 70 of greening, according to NASA.... However, nitrogen oxides released from the combustion of coal, oil, and natural gas act as a fertilizer that plant roots absorb and use to build proteins and chlorophyll.... Academic funding bodies do not reward scientists for reporting that industry has quietly fertilized half a continents worth of new leaf area. Instead, they reward papers that confirm a bogus crisis narrative. Chemistry aside, much of the modern worlds agricultural abundance exists because the planet warmed out of one of the coldest periods in the past two millennia.
	Comment:	Many greenhouse operators burn propane to increase CO2 levels to 800 - 1000 parts per million to very significantly boost plant production and profits. Plants evolved under CO2 levels in the 5000 - 8000 ppm range. They are starving because of the CO2 consumed by the erosion of the mountain chain created when the Indian subcontinent crashed into the Asian continent. If CO2 levels fall below about 130ppm during the next ice age, plants will go extinct, and all life on earth not around some mid-ocean volcanic vents, will be Extinct!

Sd344-003	Scientists Find a Huge Hidden Ice Reservoir Beneath Utahs Mountains
	Quote:	Beneath the rocky slopes of Mount Timpanogos lies far more ice than anyone walking across the surface might suspect. Researchers used gravity measurements to map the buried glacier in 3D and found it is about 83 ice, with enough frozen water to fill 600 Olympic swimming pools. Their findings suggest rock glaciers form as falling debris buries persistent snow and preserves it for thousands of years. Similar formations around the world may collectively store tens of gigatons of hidden water.

Zeg34-1018	Reactions of abiogenic hydrocarbons in Earths upper mantle
	Quote:	The formation of hydrocarbon fuels in Earths interior has traditionally been considered to have biogenic origins; however, growing evidence suggests that some light hydrocarbons may instead originate abiotically. It is widely expected that the Fisher-Tropsch-type (FTT) process, which typically refers to the conversion of inorganic carbon to organic matter in the geologic convention, may also happen in Earths interior, but the aqueous conditions and absence of industrial catalysts in deep environments suggest that the FTT process can be very different from that in the chemical industry. Here, we performed extensive ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations ( 2.4 ns) to investigate the FTT synthesis in dry mixture and in aqueous solutions at 10-13 GPa and 1000-1400 K. We found that large hydrocarbon-related species containing C, O, and H are abiotically synthesized via the polymerization of CO without any catalyst. Supercritical water, commonly found in deep Earth, does not prevent organic molecule formation but restricts product size and carbon reduction. Our studies reveal a previously unrecognized abiogenic route for hydrocarbon synthesis in mantle geofluids. These carbon-containing fluids could potentially migrate from depth to shallower crustal reservoirs, thereby contributing to the deep carbon cycle, influencing surface carbon budgets, and possibly serving as a new energy source.
	Comment:	So the question becomes a matter of proportions, how much is biogenic, and how much is abiogenic. Also where would it form? Given the prevalence of methane, how much would end up converted to longer chain hydrocarbons? AI suggests literature may support a small portion of subducted carbonates from the ocean converted to oils, with the vast bulk released as volcanic CO2, and a small percentage converted to methane that may seep out and become trapped in sandstones during the slow geological carbon cycle.
