Jan 3, 2011 by The Nation: The scientific community has long agreed that our dependence on fossil fuels inflicts massive damage on the environment and our health, while warming the globe in the process. But beyond the damage these fuels cause to us now, what will happen when the world’s supply of oil runs out? In a new video series from The Nation magazine and On The Earth Productions, Bill McKibben, Noam Chomsky, Nicole Foss, Richard Heinberg and other scientists, researchers and writers explain. http://TheNation.com
On the climate and the solutions.
Climate State
Covering the climate crisis and the solutions. Climate change media and news.
One person or another has said this is the year of peak oil, for the last
100 years.
A stopped clock is right twice a day, but these guys are not right once a
century.
The smart thing to do is use oil until it is too expensive.
The dumb thing to do is worry that the world is running out of oil.
No one is that stupid? …….. Watch the video.
Too many people is the obvious problem. There is not one western democratic
government promoting depopulation. It is a simple equation. Less people
less pollution and consumption. Less than one degree increase in
temperature in 100 years is hardly panic time and has happened naturally on
this planet many times before. Oil should be out due to many pollution
problems not just global warming.
Well its 2014 now and peak oil is turning out to be line of bullshit put out by the fear mongers . Same as global warming and peak population . Thom Hartman should get another job . He has no idea what the big picture is . As for Chomsky , he is a very huge lier who easily bamboozels so called educated young univercity students . Global warming is being changed today to “climate change” . Itis not warming today .it is staying the same . I wish it was warming but sad to say its just another lie… Read more »
very dire…” institutionally speaking”…weve committed ourselves to
self-destruction.

Last year the 2nd largest oil find ever was found in the US. In west
Texas…. Yes at somepoint we will reach Peak oil. But we have not yet.

Richard Heinberg: “Is there a cover up of peak oil”
Well yea. If you want to cover up an economic collapse, you go to war. You
either get to be the only game left in town or you get to blame the
collapse on someone rather then systemic malfunction. We (or a majority)
will point our finger at whatever entity the propaganda tells us to.
History show this over and over and over.
The future is bleak.
no idea about what asshole ?
chomskey talks about the mainstream media promoting the deniers . he full
of shit ! the mainstream media promotes manmade warming 99% . i hate these
fucking one worlders , they are gross liers
and why would you even argue oil exports are bad??? The USA has had a net
trade deficit not for years but decades. I would bet you have known and
argued that this is a bad thing. What is it??? exports are good exports are
bad?????? or some exports are good and some are bad? Really what is it?
Please use some logic here otherwise you are simply another smart person
falling for Obama like rhetoric. Adam Smith free markets & Everyone can
pursue their individual interests is best. TLRRC… Lee
Yeah that’s exactly what defines peak oil jbfrodsham, cost of extraction
becomes higher and higher as supply declines, not to mention demand still
rising. I guess you just like to disagree with people even when you hold
the same view. It’s just elementary statistical analysis. More to the point
we DO NOT have the carbon budget to be buring those tars sands all all the
coal left in the worlds known reserves, let alone any unknown reserves.
Climate is already plummeting to wildly unsafe state.
mass starvation ?peak oil animal rights ,global warming ? your right i dont
take that shit seriously .i dont believe this fear mongering crap .people
who do are simpletons . do you live in the city ? ill bet you do . as for
you comment re socialism -communism i dont know where you got that i never
mentioned it . fas people like you should not be able to have babies .to
many freaks here already lol and the last sentence in your reply .what does
that mean ? go back to school !
Because whenever tough action is attempted, like banning coal and oil,
fanatic free market conservatives throw a fit and object. I fully support
killing all meat-eaters and religious nuts and coal company executives.
Show me how all those dead meat-eating anti-environmentalists can ever
pollute again.
ha global warming has been debunked. do you not know they have cnanged the
moniker to climate change. i am so sick of hearing the scientific community
has agreed. no it has not. the socialist left will and must never control
the energy sector. it will be our downfall. oh wait that is what they want
another great come back! you are really impressing me with your intellect
Guess what, USA exports most of it’s oil. And no, that isn’t a good thing.
I recognize the phenomenon of global warming but to be honest, I am not
willing to take the consequences into account. It will cost me too much. I
am not willing to freely give away my current lifestyle to preserve the
planet for future generations. I know I sound cruel, but think about it for
a second. I am just saying what everybody really means, but noone dares to
say openly.
ahhh i see you are truly a master in reparte . but you still dont make any
sense . sad for you though its not my lack of learning thats the problem
.you just dont make sense . maybe you are one of those non-existent
“typical city greenies”
@MixedSpecieMixedRace The Myth peaked in the United states in the 70’s. LOL
Look at the more recent videos and articles about “Peak Oil” Right now,
more and more highly regarded skeptics are now agreeing. Simply put, we are
running out of cheap oil. We could drill all day but even still, we will
use 2 barrels of oil to find and create just 1 barrel. Eventually any
reserve will run dry. Google “peak oil” Educate yourself. Let’s think
“sustainability”. Let’s be active in our free market society and create
more competition for oil. Let’s think about generations.
Industrialisation is based on division. It divided thinking, production to
such a point that nobody can understand or know the impact of his own
input. This is not a market problem. In the soviet times irresponsibility
and ignorance was paramount. Industrialisation is here to suppress
intelligence and thinking because it feeds on automation and create
authority. Social positions (CEO, professors) are based on this principle
and can be questionned. If we do not use our hand we use oil or slaves.
And the nations were angry, and YOUR wrath is come, and the time of the
dead, that they should be judged, and that YOU should give reward unto YOUR
servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear YOUR name,
small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
rev.11:18 by the works of our hands it unfolds even now
WHAT DOES IT MATTER what “they” say. Wether you call it climate change,
global warming, shooting someone in the ass with a dart gun, whatever all
you have to do is LOOK with your own eyes and see the trash, see the waste,
see the scum that humanity has created and it’s impossible to not SEE we
are destroying the planet
i work in the oilpatch and recently all the development is in directional
drilling and fracing of old wells and the increase of oil production is
incredible . some old wells that have basically quit producing are fraced
and start producing 600 cubes a day . instead of hitting a zone of 8 feet
directional drilling follows the zone and really produces big . in the past
we have only been scratching the surface and now we are starting to produce
in big quanties never before seen .peak oil ? NOT
i dont have kids ,,so i take what i want ,fuck the economy fuck the
environment and certainly fuck your kids futures ,yes i,m an asshole but
i,m not the motherfucker making more humans to fuck up the planet
don’t waste my time. why can’t you guys just keep it to yourselves. utter
nonsense
I’ve got a mouth with a tongue still inside. Will that work? 😀 Damn this
monitor. It is in the way.
Hartmann: “Hi, I’m Thom Hartmann. Join me in listening to various experts
discuss fossil fuel depletion and global warming.” Funny thing though; for
the last year or so Thom Hartmann himself WONT TALK ABOUT PEAK OIL. Anyone
know why?
The trap chomsky is taking about is by no mean specific to market economy
but is an inherent, built-in feature of industrial society and even
civilization at large. This point that has been voiced by radical
anarchists is never adressed by Chomsky and co. They can then shed tears,
as long as they refuse to analyse and adress the causal roots of all this,
their voice is just fuelling the big entertainment displayed by our
mediacracy. We will watch our own agony on TV. Best shrill ever !
Given up driving?
