Fire or Ice? The role of peak fossil fuels in climate change scenarios

Will the world end in fire or in ice? That is, are we going to be hit by global warming or are we going to freeze because of lack of fossil fuels?

Here, I present a brief summary of some of the recent papers that have appeared on the subject.
