Peak Oil and Nuclear War

Progressing into this new century, the disaster topics of the day are Global Warming and Peak Oil. Nuclear War is nowhere to be seen and is relegated to the “special interests” section. But if Peak Oil is the elephant in the living room, will Nuclear War turn out to be the brontosaurus (don’t ask me what type of living room we are talking about here)?

I have taken the view that Peak Oil in its initial stages is an economic event per se. If we only had to look at Peak Oil in those terms then things may be a bit predictable. However, life is a sequence of causes and effects. An obscure duke is assassinated and World War I ensues. The Treaty of Versailles is signed and Adolf Hitler arises. Global oil production hits a peak forever and nuclear war prevails.
