All of our oxygen is falling down these holes. We must put a stop to this!

Lets see... this might just be a nitpick, since your meaning is apparent, but... "Carbon is toxic to humans and to our planet." Considering we're carbon-based life forms, and that the majority of our food is also carbon-based, such a statement seems at best, misguided. Also, when you consider the depths that we drill to, the amount of holes we drill, this has absolutely no effect on how heat is transferred from the core to the surface of the planet. It'd be like sticking a few needles in a mountain. "I know it seems silly at first, but when you really think about it starts to make sense." It's an interesting idea, but really... if you look into it, no... no it doesn't make sense. I mean... think about it, volcanos will have so much bigger of an effect than drilling. They've been happening throughout the planet's history and will continue to. I hate to say it, but I don't think saying this kind of thing is very helpful. The biggest weapon we have to fight global-warming deniers is reality. Science. The facts are already on our side, so we should use them instead of trying to invent false ones. The "facts" global warming deniers pull out of their asses to try to prove their bullshit are often laughable. Again, pointing that out is the best method we have in the struggle to prevent their further damaging of the planet. So in my opinion, we should avoid doing the same thing ourselves. And no offense, but thats kinda what I see this post as doing. An interesting post, for sure, and I agree with ya politically, but I gotta say, your science needs a little… brushing up on.
