In particular they question the prediction in the last World Economic Outlook, believed to be repeated again this year, that oil production can be raised from its current level of 83m barrels a day to 105m barrels.

I'd have to disagree there. Someone from the IEA contacted the Guardian just prior to the publication of the 2009 World Energy Outlook. They got corroboration from an ex-colleague and printed the sto
The guardian then rushed out the story before the report was published.
This could easily be something stage-managed. I'm not saying it is, but it is most definitely not investigative journalism.

I do wonder what they project in between now and then, like for 2020, and for 2012 and 2016...

Funnily enough, I was at the doomstead last weekend and two military-looking black helicopters came in really low towards the house. I was cacking myself for some reason. Then they... kept on going.

This is what the bill actually says. Reading text on a page does not constitute schizophrenia. It's amazing how reading your own government's legislative bills can be labeled as a mental illness in today's bizarro world. I was watching representatives debate the bill on the House floor on C-SPAN and one was reading from the bill, stating the above. I can try and find the exact text, if you like.

I was watching the 'Energy and Climate Change Secretary' (sic) Ed Milliban interviewed on TV a few days ago - every time he mentioned the word coal he prefixed it with the word 'clean' and stared hopefully at the camera. Apparently burning coal will now be good for the environment. The poor man has clearly gone mad. Interview's here, if anyone's interested:
