Peak OilAt the same time as the climate is changing, we are also at a time when oil production is peaking and production and consumption will begin the inevitable decline. The graph aside gives a number of scenarios and the major differences are between the timing of the decline. A good website is www.theoildrum.com. It discusses ideas related to peak oil, sustainable development and growth, and the implications of these ideas on politics, economics, and so on.
