“Peak Oil Period” to Be Attained By 2014, Alarm Scientists
OPS_admin | Mar 13, 2010 | Comments 0
This is serious issue of concern because as the definition of the term “peak oil” suggests, peak oil is the period when the oil production after mounting to its maximum, starts to turn down. Therefore according to the study, the highest oil production will be seen in 2014 followed by a further decrease in production. This will pose a serious threat to the human comfort as we are very much reliant on the petroleum and related products in almost everything, majorly our transporting system.
It has also been revealed that total of 54% of fuel has been used by now and the remaining will be reached within four years 2014 i. e. the highest of 79 million stock tank barrels per day. Scientists are terming this conclusion as “alarming” and are saying that their warnings are resulted only after considering “best available information”.

If we don't change our ways soon...
A new report by the Royal Society, chaired by Nobel prize-winning biologist Sir John Sulston warns that world population must be stabilized and consumption in wealthy nations must be reduced or the entire planet is in big trouble. As the report reads: "The number of people living on the planet has never been higher, their levels of consumption are unprecedented and vast changes are taking place in the environment. We can choose to rebalance the use of resources to a more egalitarian pattern of consumption... or we can choose to do nothing and to drift into a downward spiral of economic and environmental ills leading to a more unequal and inhospitable future."This is the same warning that President Jimmy Carter gave Americans back in the 1970's - but it was ignored when Ronald Reagan came to power with a "more positive" message basically telling Americans we can do whatever we want. And then after 9/11 - Bush told us all we should go shopping and consume ever more.And now with corporations calling the shots in Washington - long-term sustainability of the planet takes a back seat to short-term profits. If we don't change our ways soon - and embrace clean, alternative energy and educate women around the plant - then we all could be headed for a rough century.-Thom(Is there any chance we will learn in time?

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
