I have a simple hypothesis, It would seem the earth has certain criteria for all things upon to live.?

Has it ever occurred to science, Geology. We use oil to cool things, Engines, Friction while Drilling, Oil is a useful dissipater of heat and a lubricant to friction and rubbing. Could it not be possible Oil, or Fossil Fuels Cool the Earths Core, The molten mass that erupts through cracks and shifts of the Earth, Could It Not Be Possible? It was brilliantly figured out we need to put something back down the huge under ground chambers. Disposal costs are very high. it wouldn't be to far fetched to think some 55 gallon drums of substance could have been used as a Earths Filler. Really some Nasty Chemicals’ were not uncommon here in Texas in the 70's and 80's. Any way huge chunks of earth is falling in on it's self 800 yards by 500 yards huge cavities filled with rancid water. The growing and shrinking of mountains on earth’s tectonic plates, and fault lines would in my mind explain today’s environmental changes globally and thus we assume. It just seems to my thinking without oil in the Earth the Hotter the earth is Going to Get! BPE, 2min.wksK-Town Texas

the earth like the human body, can heal itself if allowed to

The heat from the Earth's core amounts to 50mW/m^2. Solar constant is 250W/m^2 averaged over day, night and latitude. Solar forcing needed to explain global warming is several W/m^2. So your hypothesis misses the mark by close to a couple orders of magnitude. Apart from that... good thinking!:-)

Nope.Earth, as a rock, internally, is cooling down. The radioactive decay that generates most of the heat in internal Earth will not last forever. Rock is a poor conductor of heat, which is why its has reattained its internal heat for so long, but it won't last forever.Petroleum reserves have nothing to do with Earth's temperature. They are solely located in the crust, very far away from the core.
