Nothing in there about "non-conventional" oil Cliffy, you miss the part of this thread where it isn't the doomer porn you are so enthusiastic about?

Although to be honest, even your mental wanderings about when things get scarce, people get ugly..

(contradicted here because it turns out, you are wrong again)

are better than your lousy peak oil links and made up quotes from important people.

They believe they’re better so that they feel justified taking down other people in their fight for survival. As things get scarce, and it becomes clear that we can’t save everyone, expect the world to tear itself apart fighting for the last scraps of whatever is left.


Scientific America disagrees with you. Not a surprise that you don't know much about the reality of these things, doomer zealots are mostly all like that.
