The earth will not be running out of oil anytime soon at all. That's a load of propaganda used by the arabs to spike prices. |

Hey guys, check out the picture in the link below. |

No, the world is not running out. We just can't quite get to the oil. |

This same picture is in my Geography book at school. It's amazing. |

i have to agree that the supposed crisis of fossil fuels is rather exaggerated. Go back 50 years or more and you will many politicians and scientists exclaiming " We shall be out of coal in the next 10 years" or " By 1990 the worlds Oil supply will be depleted" etc etc. |

I think that what most people forget is that this is a constant cycle, like evolution. It doesn't all of the sudden happen, but as long as organic material is decomposing, it's being compressed into coal and petrol. |

But many of you seem to ignore the fact that once oil goes, so does plastic. I'm not saying that there will just be no oil. There will be oil, but it will be very expensive due to limited supply. Oh, and one more thing, the depletion timer is based on the amount left as well as many other variables. I have done my research, many of you are proving my point that you think that it will be one easy transition. Yeah, maybe we'll have nuclear power, but what about all the materials we won't be able to provide ourselves with, as i said, plastic is very important, and without it we will lose many things. |

Well then who really gives a fuck? And you seem to have ignored that this is a constant process that has bereen going on for 3.8 billion years. |

I just hate light pollution. Its mostly in the Eastern United States it looks like. |

hmm like i said i think power wise we will go nuclear and green.( probably mainly hydroelectric and solar as i have heard wind power is the least efficient and obviously the least reliable) |

Well Seis, i am aware of the process and how long it has been going on, but it is blatently obvious that you are not ready for these big changes as you seem to ignore all the variables. This is not going to be as simple as switching to a different source as we choose, in fact, unless we find something to replace plastic, we are going to lack some of lifes comforts and essentials. So please, don't say that i have ignored what you said, because i am educated in this area. And for your information, i give a fuck, you may think that just because you'll be dead close enough to when it hits means that you shouldn't contribute to helping this world. Your a contributor to the problems, i'm a contributor to the problems. You just sound like a selfish little boy who thinks that just because life is easy now, it'll be easy in 40 or so years. Think on, take some damn responsibility. |

Right, i have just about had it now. If you read CAREFULLY you will see that i am making a point about plastic production and how with close to no oil we will in effect lose a lot of our luxuries and maybe even life essentials if you could relate plastic to it, i am sure you could. I KNOW that there are alternate sources of energy, do you think i'm a moron. Even with alternate sources, it is not going to make up for plastic. Well one things for sure, once oil is gone the arabs will most probably revert back to the stone age, so there is some truth in your attempt of an ironic statement. |

@LS: There is no way that the earth is "running out of" these natural resources. It is impossible to tell. Sure, maybe the largest, current oil fields "seem" to be "running low" but I still say BS. |
|
Sad eh? Too bad it seems like we won't be moving the whole world onto alternative electricity anytime soon [or so it seems with society's general interests/priorities] |
|
My point is that there is no way to tell whether there is more until we find it, so why hold your hopes on something that is not definite, wouldn't it be better to focus on lowering emmisions and making our future better instead of relying on these oil fuels. Not to mention that the burning of oil creates lots of CO2 emmisions which go up into the air and create the greenhouse effect. |
|
Interesting... |
|
Listen Seis, i know you really want to have the last word, but you once again are seeing everything wrongly. Maybe i was a bit harsh in previous replies, but i'll try and be more civil and explanatory in this reply. Okay, |
|
Uhh I haven't read all the posts about oil and whatnot but that's an awesome picture. It's cool to see what places are still relatively dark. I thought Australia would have more light than that.. but then again I'm not too familiar with that country's terrain. |
|
Australia is like 90% desert and bush which is basically inhospitable. The only main cities are on the east and west coast; and these are sparse as it is; basically it would just be so hard to maintain cities in the bushland and stuff in the center. |
