There's nothing in that story about production rates and what the demand is projected to be. Such claims of longevity are not very practical. Are they expecting 118 years of production at current cons ...

But characterising a 10 year period during which oil consumption had two very marked periods, first of decline, then of increase, as "essentially flat" is misleading, IMO.What you're stating is delibe ...

Yup, that's what I said.No it isn't. You said...
a decade of flat consumption.And I said...
average production was essentially flat.Yup, that's what I said. The distinction doesn't seem as clear to ...

If there is somebody out there who believes that oil will not peak at some point, then that person is either ignorant of the facts or a believer in an unsupported abiotic theory, or, if neither of th ...

If we take some interval/data to measure an average of, and every point between the starting and ending points has a greater value associated with it, then the average consumption will be higher, in t ...

How can it give a false impression?Come, on yesplease, I'm sure you're more intelligent than that. You said it was a decade of flat consumption. It most certainly was not flat, essential or not.No, I ...

We need to save our crude oil...save it for what?It's not really a question of saving it but of stopping using it, since it's limited and using it degrades our environment.

As part of the weaning p ...

This isn't because of peak anything, it is because of a couple decades worth of shitty monetary policies.There are probably many factors. One could be the steep rise in the cost of oil and all the pro ...

As OF2 has said: "this is a thread about discoveries, not reserves, future production rates, or anything else like that"

So don't place too much significance on the total numbers given here. There ...

TonyPrep is not making any sense at all, while Yesplease does.So, you are happy with the characterisation of a decade when oil consumption declined markedly for 4-5 years, then increased markedly for ...

I posted a link which showed, at current consumption rates, that estimates of natural gas run about 60 years.Such figures aren't very useful. What is more useful is understanding when production can't ...

If oil production goes down 20% over some time period, and then over some equal time period directly after that increases 20%, is it not accurate to say that over the sum of both periods average produ ...

Fair enough. Average oil consumption was flat for a decade plus.Big deal. you tried to give the impression that oil consumption was essentially flat for a decade. That would have been truly misleading ...

Is there some statistically significant disconnect between the two?They may be. What does the consumption graph look like?
