The main problem is too many people.

The secondary problem is resource depletion.

Neither is addressed with the thought, "let's figure out alternatives".

Totally random off topic humor, but on topic for Yorkshire.

Thanks for the warm welcome
Its talking to people like youselves that stops the "headless chicken" syndrome.

Sorry Carlhole, my mum used to work on the telephone exchange in the days days when they all had to speak like they were royalty so I never really picked up a Proper Yorkshire accent.
The dialect has all but died out now.

We live in a small fishing town on the North Yorkshire coast, it`s really beautiful which makes it easy sometimes to forget whats round the corner!

Hi fellow peak oilers.

I've been lurking for a while and have finally plucked up the courage to post

I have gradually become aware of the concept of peak oil over the past 3 years or so and read Richard Heinberg's book The Party's Over in February this year. After reading his book everything I'd been observing going on in the world basically fell in to place and made complete sense.

I guess I'd always believed what I was told at school - that oil was a finite resource and for some time I had been puzzled as to why the environmentalists were telling everyone to stop using fossil fuels because of CO2 but never made any mention of the fact that fossil fuels were finite so it was sheer folly to rely on them as if they would last forever. I am very pleased that at last the environmentalists and the geologists seem to be talking to each other!

I have 4 children. If I'd been aware of peak oil before I had them, maybe I wouldn't have had any children. I don't know. But I'm scared for their future. I'm scared for them because of global warming. But I'm much more scared about peak oil.

I am so frustrated by the denial going on in the world about peak oil. I can't work out why intelligent people can't get their heads round it. I think a lot of people are just hoping that life will carry on as normal and they'll never have to make any personal changes. So they blame everything that's going on on the economy, the housing market, the farmers, the supermarkets, the weather, the government, the stock market, OPEC etc etc. Everything except what is really causing it - OIL.

Hi happychicken, and welcome. Good first post. Are you a keeper of poultry?

Do lots of reading in the forums if you haven't already, there's a lot of learning to be had there. And feel free to contribute. I especially recommend the Planning for the Future forum.

hi Coyote

Yes we keep chickens - just 3 so far. We've had them since March 08. we rescued some ex-battery hens. We're thinking of moving them to a different part of the garden in the autumn and maybe getting some more. We've also had a go at breeding rabbits to see how easy it was. It was very easy. We've given up at the moment, but we could get another buck and start again if we need to! At the moment the rabbits just provide compost.
We grow our own veg but we're quite new to it - we've been doing it for 2 years with mixed success.

Good job rescuing the chickens

I've always wanted to have a couple here, but we have a bylaw that prevents it.

You can have a pet COUGAR in this town, but not a pet chicken.

Neato huh?
