Peak Oil HAS Arrived: War, Social Unrest Loom
Perhaps the most blunt statement that Peak Oil has finally arrived (more accurately, arrived last year) arrives in today’s Guardian Unlimited.
READ THE ARTICLE: Steep Decline in Oil Production Brings Risk of War & Unrest
For those of you unfamiliar with Peak Oil, or why the scenario it encapsulates will devastate society as we know it, here’s the Wiki primer. I do suggest you familiarize yourself with the concept, especially if you have children. It’s exciting to learn about the cause of the end of the Age of Hubris, how it’s linked with water and food scarcity, and how we’re all pretty much fucked if we don’t wake up and prioritize accordingly. We need global leadership NOW. Alas, we’ve not a single global leader to inspire and instruct the masses.
Excerpted from the article:
“World oil production has already peaked and will fall by half as soon as 2030, according to a report which also warns that extreme shortages of fossil fuels will lead to wars and social breakdown.
The German-based Energy Watch Group will release its study in London today saying that global oil production peaked in 2006 - much earlier than most experts had expected. The report, which predicts that production will now fall by 7% a year, comes after oil prices set new records almost every day last week, on Friday hitting more than $90 (£44) a barrel.”
You can find out more about Energy Watch Group at their WEBSITE. And next time you see Hillary, ask her what her plan is for dealing with peak oil and climate change. The beauty of it all? She has none. She’s running to become the President of the U.S.A. and she has NO viable plan, nor deep knowledge of, the most pressing issues to face humanity. And you’re thinking of handing her your vote why? The old ‘lesser of two evils’ argument again? Spare me. Spare your kids.
