Quote from Arnie:
In theory, peak oil sounds plausible.
..and in real life, it is completely probable.
In reality it will not happen...i.e. we will not "run out" of oil anymore than we ran out of whale oil during the 1800's.
Man, you are ignorant:
1. Peak oil most likely has ALREADY happened.
2. We did run out of whales in the 1800s, the only reason they didn't become COMPLETELY extinct is that there was a new resource, crude oil replacing whale oil.
In fact, I would be willing to wager that in 10 years, proven reserves will be higher than they are today.
Even if so (although not likely), care to make a 2nd bet on the DEMAND side, that it will be much higher then proven reserves???
For extra credit:
"The North Atlantic population of gray whales is now extinct. Sub-fossils, so called because they are less than 10,000 years old, have been found on the east coast from New Jersey to Florida, the most recent dating to 1650 AD. The demise of this population was most likely due to whaling.
A Korean or western north Pacific population of gray whales is very close to being eliminated also, most likely due to whaling. The eastern north Pacific population is by far the largest surviving group, and probably amounts to about 20,000 individuals."
Quote from Misthos:
I think you're confusing two separate issues.
The carbon tax/cap and trade scams are really new financial ponzi systems developed by and for the banksters. They need a new payground/bubble.
Carbon Tax/Cap and trade also serve a geopolitical role - to make manufacturing nations like China less competitive.
Peak Oil has nothing to do with carbon emissions. It is geological and resource oriented, not environmental. It deals with limits and resource depletion.
Quote from antitrust:
hey peekers, could you please provide scientific evidence how the above events could happen
Quote from unretired:
I'm not saying that usage and supply and demand isn't an issue. [These are obvious issues.]

Pekelo i suggest you just give up - you are wasting your time.

Quote from Pekelo:
Magic? If you don't mind, I didn't read it, because life is just too short to waste it on fantasies...
But if you can explain to me why the long time ago peaked American oilfields aren't refilling themselves....
Oh wait, nevermind....

Quote from unretired:
Not really. The entirety of the "Bubble Playground" has an agenda.
The agenda is control as previously stated.
There is insurmountable proof that a strategy to take the global
economy towards a global solution and that "Green" is part of that sales pitch.
Debt, war, pollution, solar flares, demographics, immigration, the Caliphate and 2012 are but a handful of strategic machinations and opportunistic efforts to that end.
How fast, how far and the steps between that final global solution is what we do not know.
Where it is going and several of the mechanisms we do know.
Peak oil is simply a concept ... and that concept does not include rich oil finds and abiotic oil. While valid ... the baseline is erroneous.
The rage that questioning it inspires ought to give clue to those blind who subscribe to it.
