Peak oil? Consider it solved
It won't be easy but we can fix our oil and climate problems at the same time.
By Joseph Romm [2008-03-28]

  • Thank You minnesing5 and abbybwood!

    Couldn't agree more. Just because the earth doesn't conform to our high standards of "life" doesn't mean it isn't an organic being. It wasn't all that long ago that not all humans conformed to our high standards of "homo sapiens." The earth may very well "know" what its doing and have "reasons" for encouraging certain activities of certain "living" things while discouraging others. And I doubt that it even gives a damn if its the center of the universe or not! That sure would make it a hell of lot "smarter" than us. Anyway, there's no way out of the human dilemma. We've been moving toward this point for thousands of years; at any time along the way we could have stopped and asked ourselves "What the hell are we doing?" But we didn't. And anyone seriously believes we will now, this close to the end?
