Is there any evidence that the reservoirs of oil within the earth help to regulate the planet's temperature ?

Question

By evacuating, processing, and using this resource of oil, are we not changing the equilibrium of the planet 's temperature from within(removing a pocket of insulation, or a pocket that absorbs radiation) as well as from without (burning it into carbon emmissions that affect the atmosphere)? Example; when a forest of trees are cut down, the effect on the enviroment is greater than just the processing and use of the wood that these trees created.

Answer 1

No. The amount of space occupied is such an insignificant part of the total volume of the Earth that ii is inconceivable that it would have an effect on the temperature of the Earth. It's like asking if I poured a cup of hot water in the Pacific Ocean would it raise the temperature of the ocean. It won't happen.

Answer 2

very interesting question, i never thought that the ability of the oil "insulation" could stave off any climatic changes to this planet, hypothetically it is possible, though slim, with the earth's own thermodynamic environment, and it's continuing ability to "regenerate" it's self despite it's human and other inhabitants, it seems unlikely that what the question you asked is plausible to increase or decrease the planets temperature or any other environmental factors. i did give you a star, and i hope that you will study this further and in depth
but to answer your question directly, no, no evidence has been found that removing any resources has effected the planet's temperature. good luck in your studies.
