As you all know, A.D. is written after a year in some cases. (i.e. 2005 A.D.) When the world "ends" and a new one begins after the collapse of a cheap oil based society, I think it would be appropriate to change this. Personally, I like A.P. (after peak). I'd make this into a poll, but the website is messing up. I wrote the options below.
A.P. - After Peak
A.O. - After Oil
A.C. - After Crash (or Collapse)
P.P. - Post Peak
P.O. - Post Oil
Anyone have any others?

We've had
B.C.E Before Common Era (aka B.C.)
and
C.E Common Era (aka, A.D)
So logically:
A.C.E After Common Era

The Decline.
In the future people will talk about happenings during The Decline, Decline politics, etc.

the millennial reign of Christ.
Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.
Just think it through.
It's not hard to do.

I like The Fistening. Fist is a much underused word.
If all goes well, we can call it the Age of Epiphany, as one would hope we would finally cop on to ourselves.
If it goes badly, I say the Age of Darkness, or the Obsidian Era.. just for that dramatic touch.
We've tried nothin' and we're all out of ideas.

Why would we change our "era"? The "era" wasn't changed after the fall of Rome or the Black Death, why would the post-oil world need a new "era"? It will stay A.D. ( I refuse to use PC garbage like CE or BCE until the names of the planets are renamed so they aren't named after Roman gods).
