$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')hat they didn’t want you to know: oil’s dirty little secret
By Martyn Wingrove - Friday 13 July 2007

“IT’S the end of the world as we know it”, sang US rock band REM, a sentiment that seems to sum up the ‘hard to live with’ realities that Peak Oil will bring to civilisation’ s most affluent cultures.


And it definitely echoes the view of former BBC journalist David Strahan, who admits he knew nothing of the oil industry before starting his research and now wishes the world knew more about geology.


The theory of Peak Oil is simply that world production will peak and plateau at a undefined point in time and then begin to decline while demand continues to rise.


This will happen when all the world’s oil producers reach their limits of pumping oil. This essential but finite resource that has been exploited for one and a half centuries to drive economic growth and geopolitical influence.


The high oil prices seen over the last few years are strong evidence that the point where the world is unable to increase production levels any further is approaching faster than than anyone hoped, or cares, to admit.


Strahan’s book guides the reader through the science behind the theory and then the argument as to why it will happen within the next 10 years.
