... Then you take a subject that has nothing to do with the bell curve of oil consumption put forth by a man who is not a scientist and say it negates your understanding of oil consumption.
Not a scientist?? If you knew just half as much as you claim to know, you might only be obnoxious.

I said nothing about consumption. I made a statement about reserves, and somehow I don't consider The Guardian the most neutral, unbiased scientific reference source on environmental issues.

BTW - According to Al Gore, the Arctic is supposed to be ice free as of several years ago. The ice pack now is at record highs. I question every "forecast" put out by anyone with a vested political and/or financial interest in it.

This is the subject you referred to that has nothing to do with oil. The non-scientist you referenced was Al Gore. You present the classic false dichotomy that Cobra was referring to. Because Al Gore is wrong then any other "forecast" you want to dismiss is wrong.

Just because predictions of the exact point of 'peak oil' are all over the place does not negate the FACT that humanity will experience an end to oil. Using all predictions and claims I can find, including the guardian, does not change the FACT that we are SOMEWHERE near the peak of a bell curve in the reserves, supply, and consumption of oil. We can argue the details but the end of oil dwarfs them.

Don't worry about it. I have complete faith that humanity will find a way to destroy the world long before we run out of natural resources.
