It is indeed quite an interesting read:
Peak Oil is only mentioned once, but the report as a whole reads like it was written by a PO-aware person who was told he cannot use any negative words:
- economic depression is now called "Growth beyond GDP" ( that is: GDP will not grow or even be less, but we are all happy because we are doing something about CO2 )
- PO and global warming are 'A failure of the market to value the
environment and resources correctly'. |

I'm new to here and am no "economist" by any stretch of the imagination, so I find a lot of these reports hard to read and fully understand. So thanks for the "definitions" for some of the phrases.
And thanks to the article poster.
I am really blown away by some of this stuff.  |
