The thermal radiation from factories, and engines and such will help to maintain turbulence in the atmosphere due to convection. I still think that geothermal and solar are our best bets.

It could create more powerful storms. As I live in a country that once had around 1/12 of it destroyed by a storm, and which also is around 50% under the sea level. I would rather not have more dangerous storms. I kinda like it here, no dangerous animals. Mostly liberal laws. Good healthcare, good job opportunities. (I do like geothermal and solar energy. That is heat that is otherwise wasted. We could also use other forms waste heat more efficiently. Some Russian cities have used waste energy from electricity plants to great effect for example).

Well, if they believe that the Earth is only 7000 years old, then the creation of oil must necessarily be rather quick.

Yeah, but I believed it wasn't religious nuts. More fuel industry nuts. There is more on wikipedia.

Note, that I don't believe it. But I also don't have any knowledge about it. They could be right. I just don't know.
