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.

metaphorically speaking , some of us are still banging the rocks together when it comes to getting to grips with Peak Oil - i get that you are not gonna chage their mids.
but a roof over Denmark?
Wow! when you put the size of the problem in those terms, it staggers me.

But still , some will shake their heads and say " we will do it somehow",
I mean, there is no way that can see America surviving if they have to give everyone healthcare, but they are sure they can run up a roof over Denmark.
After all, it does not look that big on the map!
