peak oil already old news

peak oil already old news says IEA -

http://www.worldenergyoutlook.org/docs/weo2010/WEO2010_es_english.pdf

"Crude oil output reaches an undulating plateau of around 68-69 mb/d by 2020, but never regains its all-time peak of 70 mb/d reached in 2006, while production of natural gas liquids (NGL) and unconventional oil grows quickly."

oil shortage starting in 2015

http://www.countercurrents.org/martenson251110.htm

Colin Campbell, one of the earliest analysts of peak oil who has decades of oil field experience, is on record as saying that the "fields yet to be developed" category, originally introduced to the world as unidentified Unconventional in 1998, is a "coded message for shortage" and was, off the record, confirmed as such by the IEA. That coded message is getting easier and clearer to receive by the day.

triple paned glass windows or cold fusion

numbers dont lie by vaclav smil why understanding how humans hunt is essential to understanding why millions continues to be spent on cold fusion projects instead of triple paned windows. why not start with what is proven? windows. smil explains that triple glazed windows can create savings of 90% - no other opportunities for billions of units. cost 15% more. why isnt this done? because it doesnt hunt. no hunter is going to acquire large solar surplus from the being the "johnny appleseed of triple glazed windows" in the same way the way that hunters can create surplus gains from investing the chance at discovering and controlling cold fusion. why are large surpluses found at the frontier - fusion vs windows? the chance at property rights. there are no 10x or 10,000x multiples for investors in triple glazing. all the benefits from paying to replace acrue to the homeowner. the key is to find the right investor. utilities will offer rebates to install energy efficiencies. since ...

simple questions about collapse

1. why have complex societies formed? 2. why have complex societies formed only in the past 10,000 years? 3. the genus homo has been around for 2.5 million years - but only recently formed complexity - why? 4. could it be that one time special environmental conditions allowed unprecendented ecosystem exploitation first through hunting in the ice age, and then farming? 5. could it be that a passing environmental "sweet spot" allowed the genus homo to flourish - and that once the unusual weather has passed - the genus homo will find it difficult once again?

Studying how humans hunt is crucial

 Studying how humans hunt is crucial as resource limits are reached and boundaries are crossed. How humans hunt as a field of study has been overlooked in favour of history, political science, geography, anthropology or economics for studying conflict. They are unable to predict or model outcomes that are outside of their field of study. Studying the unique ways humans has been completely missing from existing disciplines. 1. what are the ways that humans hunt that are shared with animals? 1. what are ways do human human that are unique to humans? 1. with agriculture what species controls the largest share of gains? 1. what species is best target for hunting? 1. what special hunting techniques have developped unique to that species? 1. how does hunting lead to rise and fail of civilizations? Studying the way humans hunt has been missing for the religious narrative traditions. For thousands of years gods and prophets have spoken and taught and yet we have gone from city collapse to ...
