The Era of Guilt.

Can we really save the planet? Probably not.
Can we buy more time? Maybe.

After reading that Peak Oil forum, its clear the end is nigh.

I'm now trading carbon emissions for cocaine and hallucinogens.

I blame the medical scientists for global warming. They spend squillions on finding ways to keep us mortals alive longer, consuming more, wasting more. We need more cows to eat (they fart a lot - more methane) and cabagges (which need lots of chemicals and make us fart - more methane) and cars (which manufacturers refuse to make more efficient) which burn more fuel. If they left us alone to see out our natural life spans global warming wouldn't be a problem. I have a plan. If you reach 60 and need to take more than 2 pills a day don't take 'em. You're only prolonging the inevitable. Spend your assets and die happy. Not dribbling on a drip, semi-comatose in a bloody home ignored, unloved and gaga.

Its evolution. The greens are mad. So is Al Gore.
Rant over.

Good point.

I should say "saving ourselves" rather than "saving the planet".

Quite sobering isn't it?

Peak Oil will get us first. I believe we reached Peak Oil in December 2005 at a tad under 85 million barrels a day. We haven't exceeded that since. Watch petrol prices go up over $100 a barrel this year.

In as little as 9 years the world will have to cope with only 45 million barrels a day. All of our economies won't cope with that.

I don't mean to hi-jack this thread, but is it true that jet fuel can only be made from oil??

[Wongo]

One thing I don’t understand about this peak oil thing is if we are running out of oil, how then are we going to fly those big A380 for the next 50 years?

Don't know, but if there are humans that are intelligent enough to make technology like this, then surely they know things they're not telling us yet.......until they're ready to make cash and power out of it.

[fred.n]

Now that is impressive!....... in a racing sense
hows the bloke not holding his ears?? What a wanker
He's just trying to look cool I think
Iv'e only been to the F1 once.......they are seriously fast

Same here, I was beaten religiously , by those frustrated old bags at school.

Al

Mate weren't they the most viscous creatures alive. I received the cane in Kindergarten and when I was in grade 2 I was getting the cane every second day - that was at 8 yrs old!

No wonder I'm so emotionally scared and a devout atheist.

Why 60?

Why not apply that as soon as you stop working?

And the next step obviously must be that you get one last pill when you reach the cutoff point.

You'd never need any more medication that way, and look at all the money the government would save with no pensions.
