In a stunning reversal of its previous dogmatic ‘business as usual’ stance, the International Energy Agency has belatedly accepted the reality of Peak Oil, and the huge impact the phenomenon is going to have on the entire world.
The crucial and potentially devastating nature of the point at which humanity has used half of the world’s oil reserves - with the remaining half being overwhelmingly lower in quality, in smaller and harder to reach fields, and in less stable parts of the world – has been a BNP theme for more than five years.
Up until now the Chevron oil company has been the only mainstream oil industry player to have publicly acknowledged the clear and present danger posed to the global economy and to a world population which has exploded in recent decades on the back of the oil-based ‘green revolution’ of the 1960s. Hence for the IEA to join the Peak Oil camp is a massive step towards giving the issue the recognition it deserves.
The Paris-based Agency is made up of 26 non-OPEC oil producers, including the UK, South Korea and Denmark. Its board is made up of energy ministers or other senior representatives from each member country. Its power is shown by the fact that after Hurricane Katrina in the USA it was able to get its members to release an extra 60 million barrels of oil to offset the disruption.
The International Energy Agency report avoids the truly apocalyptic predictions that appear to follow logically from a full appreciation of the Peak Oil crisis. And it ‘spins’ the oil supply crunch it predicts as a problem of excess demand and lack of refinery investment (the first point is in any case an integral part of the Peak Oil analysis, the second is the consequence of oil companies being reluctant to invest massively in an industry whose raw material is going to be in increasingly short supply).
But despite such continuing coyness about the inescapable geological facts underlying the crisis, the new IEA report has contributed to the widest grasp of the real issue so far. Its prediction that the current record oil price will soar even higher as the supply/demand crunch hits over the next five years is certainly helping to concentrate minds. Radio Four is serialising a play about a Peak Oil researcher this week, and scarcely a day goes by without a Peak-related story appearing in the financial columns of the main British newspapers.

Yeah I'm not suprised your not allowed to access that page. It's the BNP after all, the home of lots of lovely people who make that rejection for hate and discrimination entirely unsuprising.

[eastbay]

Entirely unsurprising... yeah, not surprising at all for a variety of Orwellian reasons, but the BNP does offer a nice little glimpse into the attitudes that will be quite mainstream not too far down the Big Slide. This has been discussed many times here and there does seem to be a bit of consensus on this.

I'm not saying I want things to be that way, but there is little doubt that like it or not, race-based groupings will be the norm in the not- too- distant- future. The BNP is also saying this meaning their message is a threat to the current delicate social balance The West has recently created. Yeah, no surprise they're blocked. Unpopular messages are often blocked. Nothing new about that. Ask Galileo. Or Socrates. Or Jesus.

If PO.com members post it and discuss this very important subject enough we'll be blocked too.

And lovely people will join together and say, 'entirely unsurprising.'

Well this is going to go down like a lead baloon, but the BNP do talk a lot of sense.

The UK is overpopulated, plagued with crime and anti-social behaviour, has a awful, unfair, unsustainable economic system, has great immigrant isolation problems and has the worst family problems in the world.

We have the most unhappiest kids in the developed world
The highest drinking and drugs problems in Europe
The highest teenage pregnancies in europe
We have the highest divorce rates in Europe

All of it is down to liberalisation.
