I have seen the future, and I doesn't like it.

Life after the oil crash.
Ok, last time, I went and pinned it on a vid that most people cannot read at work.
So I am letting y'all boot up something you can read quitely when you oght to be working :)

In case you have trouble reading graphs, this one has a Blue Peter style 'talk you through the implications' - complete with original sources, for those who wanna check.

It might seem like I am doom mongering , but I just want to say -
Let's put more into Planned Parenthood, make it optional, but make it a damned sight easier at home and abroad.

Let's have oil rationing, sooner rather than later. Let's also have everything rationed if it's made with oil.

let's try to be civilised about the few resources left and share them out among ourselves.

Let's start reducing consumption , reusing things and recycling more.

let's remember that civilisation as we know it will be over by 2050, if it lasts that long.

[Nope. It's just either a fixable situation, in which case there's nothing to worry about as we will fix it, or it's not fixable, in which case there's no point in worrying about it as there is nothing you can do it about. Thus, any worrying/bitching/griping/etc is illogical, and therefore, unnecessary.}

So in other words, this will either be fixed by someone else, or it is inevitable. In the meantime you have no role in the situation.

If the price of gasoline rose to $25 per gallon tomorrow, would you change your habits? Why wait?
