The funny part of him being on the BBC is that they are taking the piss.

You may yet be proven right.

Every gallon of gas you don't burn today is one that will be available later. Americans seem to insist on being deliberately obtuse, defiantly wasting energy on completely unnecessary activities.<br /><br />I don't know about the energy crisis being the most dire predicament though. Until very recently, I thought ecosystem collapse (famine) was going to set mass extinctions in motion before an energy crisis or climate change (or social chaos/war from either).<br /><br />Lately though, I'm thinking we are going to fry from global warming, really soon. Maybe this summer. We have certainly passed tipping points, the only questions are, how this is going to play out in local terms. Suffocating heat and drought? Seismic activity? Methane clathrate explosions? Violent tornados/hurricanes/floods? We've seen some of all that already, except the methane explosions although Arctic experts have declared an emergency, and it's all predicted to get unimaginably worse.<br /><br />http://www.ameg.me/index.php/letter-to-world-leadersGail Zawackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800944469843206253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-87568639078179757032012-03-22T08:14:32.166-04:002012-03-22T08:14:32.166-04:00Both equally.

I don't get it. I truly don't. How CAN you form an opinion on something without knowledge? It is IMPOSSIBLE. <br /><br />The culture of 'pretending to understand' something by covering it up with a 'fake choice' is freaking scary. Honestly.....it explains a lot.Redreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08945189047249283578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862216000300765627.post-21512613631849356462012-03-22T07:39:40.034-04:002012-03-22T07:39:40.034-04:00Isn't Doug Stanhope fantastic.
