Any chance of getting this on video?

The comments for the ABC story are pretty on-the-level so far, but for something more outré here's a link to those Nutty-nut-nut-nut-nut-nut-nuts at FreeRepublic.com.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')gree: the peak oil angle is stooopid liberal pipe dream to make us end our “obsession” with fossil fuels.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Stonemason', 'W')e are a planetary species, doomers cannot hope to survive for long or survive a life worth living unless they embrace that we are all one and that a species at war with itself is doomed.

I really no longer understand the doomer mindset, I did at one point, but believe my awareness has advanced to a state where it seems rather pointless.

Here's the link to the nightline segment:

It's actually a pretty good piece for MSM. I think she came off very level-headed, and the piece struck me as respectful. Obviously, the changes she's made in her life have done her a lot of good healthwise.

Her comment about the $4 juice habit was funny. I find myself thinking that more and more, getting real stingy over things I used to buy without thinking.

Doom! Doom I tells ya...

Now is the time to invest in micro-solar equipment:!!!!!!

I loved that she has square foot gardens. I can relate.

Seriously, I am going to show this segment to my family. I think it could be helpful in showing that this is a movement worthy of national interest. Of course, the next step would be the MSM actually digging into the science of peak oil rather than just presenting it as a human interest story, something like Crude by ABC (A for australia). We may have to wait for the next superspike for that.

I think what most of us are looking for in MSM coverage like this is some sort of sign that doomer prepping is going mainstream, as it would certainly help blunt the crash in the end. Social movements tend to follow a pattern. I think this quote says it best:

"First they ignore you, then they mock you, then they fight you, then you win." M. Gandhi

[Stonemason]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mos', 'T')here is plenty of proof that 7 billion people cannot survive on this planet based on current trendlines. If there is a way forward that avoids die-off, it will most certainly require the sort of universal participation in mitigation that humanity has never experienced before.

[Ludi]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Stonemason', '
')Not even advanced technology, but methods of growing food such as aquaponics, cities being built in the oceans, etc. As Carl Sagan said, "imagination can take us to worlds that never existed, but without it we go nowhere."

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'M')y concept of doomer was what you mentioned first, the idea that any one organism can survive without its community. All of things you mentioned are not part of the doomer mindset as I envision it, and I see nothing wrong with engaging in them. It's the thought that I articulated above that I don't understand.
