Speaking of oil, buried under the oceans since before humanity arose, I
honestly think that humans have done nature a kind of favor with digging
it up slowly and letting the nature to keep up at least somehow. I mean,
the oil is generated under some kind of pressure and if humans wouldn't
pump it up, it would be freed by some clitch on the Earth oslt and most
probably a big amount of raw oil would spill into the ocean from the bottom.
