Reply to comment by Osmirl in Large parts of Europe are warming twice as fast as the planet on average. As a consequence of human emissions of greenhouse gases, the climate across the continent has also become drier, particularly in southern Europe, leading to worse heat waves and an increased risk of fires. by MistWeaver80

The heat on Earth comes from inside the Earth, not from the sun, so the oil captures some of that heat coming out, and the land above it is not as warm. If the heat comes from the sun, then it would get hotter as one flies towards it, but that’s not the case
