bigjinx0896 Says:

Jan 25, 2012 - Oil is NOT abiotic, fact. The Earth is limited in size, fact. We are like a bacterium growing exponentially in a petri dish. The current global financial crisis is testament to this. Put your gods and politics aside and do the MATHS. Surly it's now time that scientists and free thinkers made the important decisions, and NOT the politicians, global bankers, religious and the stupid. We have been "ruled" by such people for too long and, let's be honest, they haven't done a very good job of it

And that's only because they've been tampered with WHO (OMS) vaccination and other methods of cancelling natural death rates, while their reproduction rates and culture has practically stayed the same. You cannot expect an african village to behave like a "responsible consumer". They still think they're against lions and other tribes as well. The West (NA and Europe) is already on negative growth rates.

Mar 6, 2012 - Rarity: Watch/listen to, a 9/11 NON-conspiracy video/documentary chronicle of the WTC Attacks - runtime 130 minuntes. Upload is on my channel. Authentic; pristine; uncensored. Captured by a U.S. Army - U.S. Air Force Veteran. This is 9-11 as it was, not a production, but is a time capsule experience. An essential. The most complete continuous running account to surface from that day. Released 9 -11-2010; nine years after that day.

radicalsquare Says:

Mar 15, 2012 - I agree to a great extent, except that the financial crisis is separate from the peak oil crisis, though is triggered by it. Debt is built in to the financial system, thus requiring growth to pay off the current interest with more debt. The crisis occurs when growth can't keep up. Peak oil limits the growth required to keep the debt-ponzi system going. Whether by design or not, it leaves those with wealth able to hoard the resources as they become more scarce.

Mar 31, 2012 - actually you dont even need the video, you can listen to the audio and learn the message being conveyed.

Apr 6, 2012 - You are very eloquent, that paragraph perfectly sums up what has been keeping me up at night for years. Make more youtube comments please :)

richardmg9 Says:

Apr 6, 2012 - Yes, but more specifically I'm mad at people who don't feel the need to educate themselves.

Deacon Blue Says:

Apr 8, 2012 - But the rate of population growth is declining steeply. It's not enough to look at just the rate of change- you need to also look at the rate of change of the rate of change. It looks as if world population will stabilize around 10-12 billion and then decline. Beyond that, the rate of change of the rate of change of our use of energy is also negative. So the argument doesn't hold.

Deacon Blue Says:

Apr 8, 2012 - There are vastly more fossil fuels in the US than Hubbard accounts for. They are not mainly as easy to recover as the light sweet crude we have already used a lot of, but they are economic to extract and will become more so as technology improves. We haven't extracted 3/4 of our fossil fuel reserves. We've just extracted the few percent that was easiest to get at. We're eventually going to need other sources of energy, but we have a fair bit of time before we'll be really short of fossil fuels.

mrmomoto Says:

Apr 11, 2012 - @deacon blue: the more energy you have to put into extracting an energy source, the less profitable it becomes to use. Saying "we haven't extracted 3/4 of our fossil fuel reserves" doesn't indicate that we have 75% of our "reserves" left - it only means that unless consumption goes down to nearly zero we'll run out 5 or 10 years later than your 'fair bit of time'. And we're not talking 50-100, but 20-30 years here.

Deacon Blue Says:

Apr 14, 2012 - We have large reserves of fossil fuels that can be extracted fairly cheaply, and the energy needed for extraction is priced in. At present rates of consumption we have a lot more than 30 years- likely hundreds. It is true that if demand increases exponentially "hundreds" could turn into a few decades. But demand for energy is not increasing as it once did, and if fuels became scarce price would limit demand. We're not going to run out of fossil fuels any time soon. Peak fuel is nonsense.

dryan22 Says:

Apr 27, 2012 - But they are scarce!  Why should we go through them all in the next century when human beings could inhabit the planet for millions of years?

Deacon Blue Says:

Apr 28, 2012 - All other things being equal we shouldn't. But all other things are not equal. We really don't have any source of energy that can replace fossil fuels in the near-term. Nuclear could replace quite a bit of electrical generation, but it has its own problems. And we really do need quite a bit of energy, unless we want to somehow get rid of the bulk of humanity. Scarce is a relative term- fossil fuels are not nearly as scarce as many (like mrmomoto) think.

Deacon Blue Says:

Apr 28, 2012 - Also, it doesn;t make much sense to try to think millions of years into the future. It doesn;t make too much sense to try to look even 100 years into the future because we have no way of knowing what things will be like in 100 years. Imagine people in 1912 trying to predict what the major issues would be in 2012. Something is going to come along, at some point, and pretty much entirely replace fossil fuels. But it isn't going to happen soon, and we're in no position to predict what it will be.

knightoflambda Says:

May 1, 2012 - Our models are vastly better than those a hundred years ago. Many fundamental concepts in applied mathematics - things that model population growth, etc - were developed in the 50s.Besides, what this video is saying is a simple consequence of arithmetic. With our current rate of consumption, how long until we reach 1 minute to midnight? The answer is less than a human lifetime. Now we apply Hubbert's model: the rate of consumption MUST decrease. Hence peak oil.

Deacon Blue Says:

May 5, 2012 - Which models? In what sense are they better? Specifics please.With a name like yours I'd think you would have read John McCarthy's take on this stuff- he was certainly no slouch at math, and knew a thing or two about orders of growth.Peak oil is nonsense promulgated by sloppy thinkers who understand very little about the world. I'm old enough to remember the predictions made in the 70s- by now we should be out of almost everything. But we have more of everything than ever before. Go figure.

May 20, 2012 - Look at the big picture, due to the so called over populated govermental controlled world where would be the best place to drop a bomb to control population and gain more governmental control?The logical answer is obvious "On the land of the FREE" get ready for the next inside 911 it will be a earth shaker - They are not called GoverMental for nothing !!!
