But no worries, all this peak oil crap is nonsense right?

[Concerned]

Peak oil is here.

Global economic contraction, resource wars and $100+ oil.

At $100 bbl the annual cost to the global economy is 3 Trillion dollars given an 85million per day consumption.

Expect more inflation, and Richard Heinberg's explanation of the economy going one step forward and two steps back being the how the future unfolds.

From your post I pretty much understand things to be I've got a job, my home, can pay my bills therefore everything is ok.

I've been on this site a fair few years now
at one time it was full of porn doomers with foul mouths and bad manners
a lot of good folks were chassed away by this

It's much better now ,
Peak oil in still here , great events are on a large scale
the falling of a cliff was Sooo romantic ,
judgment day in a couple of weeks
it's true only at the Historian scale of change

I believe at the everyday scale
it's more going to be like a sery of recessions and weak recoveries ,
people lives being caugh in financial quick sands ,some going under ,
most dragging themselves out until the next one .

That is the real ugly outcome

[SeaGypsy]

Uglier than say, collapse of trade and international finance? Immediate onset of die-off? Thanks, anyway, I prefer death by attrition.

[rangerone314]

Read "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed" by Jared Diamond or "Collapse of Complex Societies" by Joseph Tainter and get back to me about how unlikely it is for civilization to suddenly hit a tipping point and go off the edge into collapse.

The thing to keep in mind, is that to most people, everything seems fine, until suddenly it is not.

Peak Oil is merely innocent speculation and ideations on what the future in Energy will be. There have been many failed predictions, like in 2005, when members were convinced by 2010 our national grid wouldn't be functional. Although those who predicted a plateau during the 0's with recessions caused by high oil prices (Which is due to a slue of factors) may still me proven right, Perhaps this happenstance (managed decline) will play out over many decades.
