I've read through OilDummy's posts and can empathize with his skepticism (though I would suggest using a bit more tact). This got me thinking about the global warming debate and I've come to the following conclusion: remove the umbrella of Peak Oil from this newsgroup and what you have is a large body of knowledge promoting a better lifestyle.

Eliminate every reference to peak oil from this website and its subtitle could easily be renamed:

Ending our addiction to oil
Your guide to living cheaply and self-sufficiently
A healthier way to live through permaculture, conservation and renewable energy

My point is that regardless of your opinion on global warming and peak oil, the remedies that are recommended promote a healthier and more peaceful planet. Why would anyone object to that?

Having just read these links, I'll look on the bright side. Umpteen million years from now our grand progeny can make the same mistakes all over again!
This will be after we have triggered the next ocean wide algal bloom [cf global warming], the world will just make more oil.

Or we'll all die off. Either way, it's all good!

Seriously, what sort of person jumps onto a site like this and kicks metaphorical sand at everyone on his first post?
Answer-A flaming troll on a fishing expedition. Guys you have bitten hard and been caught hook, line and sinker.

I've been reading troll posts like this for years, they contribute nothing except aggro. Let him go, if he had genuine grounds for a case against PO, he would have presented at least one coherent argument. Abiotic is not coherent.

Hi guys,

I'm a newbie but I well and truly believe in peak oil. I am very very frustrated by those who can't see there's a problem with oil even now when it's staring them in the face with the oil prices and the world on the brink of a global recession.

Either you understand/believe the basic science that says it takes millions of years to make oil from dead sea creatures, or you don't.

I feel sorry for oildummy, because if agriculture has any future it will have to be organic.
