Article got it wrong?

Unread postby JoeW » Mon 02 May 2005, 10:22:40

When I read this, it really irritates me to see the kind of nonsense that passes for journalism these days...
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')or some years now experts in the petroleum industry have known that it was only a matter of time-and not that much time-before we would run out of oil.
Clearly this man does not understand the peak oil theory at all. Hey, let's all go gas up our SUV's since any day now we're gonna run out of oil.
$#@!ing idiot.

The Economist got it wrong, too. Their peak oil article is subscription-only, but someone summarized it in their blog here:

Don't worry! Oil is a bottomless beer mug. Drink up!

This link to the economist (taken from Daily Kos) seems to work: http://economist.com/displayStory.cfm?Story_id=3914915

Followup: Oops. It appears this is just a short blurb for the article. The main text is behind a subscription wall. As the previous poster says, read Daily Kos for a summary.

The Economist did a whole series about oil. Six articles, I think. Some of them are visible to nonsubscribers, but the peak oil one is not.

Leanan, great find on that image. Nothing quite like seeing a fatty fuel up her Hummer...
How much you wanna bet she has a "Support our troops" bumper sticker / ribon / American flag?
