“A linear process of converting a stock of fossil fuels into waste matter and heat cannot be sustainable. The waste heat is exported to the universe, but the chemical waste accumulates. To replenish some of the fossil fuel stock, it will take another 50 to 400 million years of photosynthesis, burial, and entrapment.” T.W. Patzek, “How can we outlive our way of life?”, 2007, fig. 10.
