And everything is fine of course, Oil production has not peaked, economy is still growing, civil liberties are not being curtailed, employment is rising, banks and credit are doing well, all is fine and sweet.
Those pesky doomers Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

A big reason the doomers are generally viewed as nutcases is because they are always wrong. Over the last 50 years there has been plenty of doomsaying, but none of it has come true. Plus doomer predictions for such things as peak oil often ignore economic and technological reality. A good example of this is PHEVs, which would allow someone to go through their normal monday through friday without using any fossil fuels at all. Our battery technology didn't advance earlier because, until recently, there was no need for it to. However once the need came, it developed very quickly.

Oh, yeah, that's us alright!

Only because <b>you</b> have included false prophets and not the true seers of what is to come.

And Bratticus has it right about who we truly are.

Go ahead, drink your own piss.

Can anyone deny whats happening in Europe-Right now (Russia-Ukraine gas dispute)- is a manifestation of peak energy? If the European countries had not consumed their energy resources in the past to produce unsustainable populations now, this situation would not exist.
Resource depletion, population growth, economic malaise and politics all contribute to how peak energy manifests.
Call me a doomer, but I bet this is just a small taste of the future...

Her: I saw a very strange person in the grocery store today.

Him: How so?

Her: He bought 40 cans of beef stew and he kept looking in
everyone's cart and saying: "That ain't going to keep."

Him: Did he have wrinkled clothes on like he's been in
them for a few days, bugged out and bloodshot eyes,
and his right hand curled up like it was frozen around
a computer mouse?

Her: Why yes he did.

Him: Did he pay with cash out of his underwear, have tin
foil poking out from under a stocking hat, and some
carabiners hanging from his belt?

Her: How did you know that?

Him: Anything else strike you strange?

Her: When I was leaving the parking lot a person had
run out of gas and was pushing their car out of the way,
and that man, he was standing there grinning and it looked
like he had, you know, a "proud package".

Him: That clinches it honey, you came face to face
with a Peak Oil Doomer.

Ok, so his previous predictions about the collapse of the soviet union and the 1987 stock market crash were true, but those were not exactly doomer predictions, were they? Doomer generally refers to people like kunstler who talk endlessly about the end of civilization (at least industrial civilization), doesn't it? Yes, we're going through some tough times, and predicted as much, but this isn't the end of the world.


From wikipedia:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'C')elente also predicts in 2009 and beyond food-producing gardens will become common on people's lawns, as resources generally become more scarce. Celente says to escape the mood of economic depression people will be delighting in entertainment and alcohol.
