Artic ice petrol and peak oil
Thursday, June 12th, 2008
NASA’s National Snow and Ice Data Centre monitors the rate of melting in the Artic, and it appears to be as bad as last year. It’s hard to see how this is just a great hoax to make us pay more taxes - as some people maintain. Meanwhile petrol prices are causing outrage, but does anyone ask how necessary are all these extra journeys? Knocking a few pence off the price won’t solve our long term energy needs, as Adam Grubb explains in this article in Energy Bulletin. Now that Private Eye has printed its first Peak Oil cartoon it’s definitely time to start planning for life without cheap oil. The cartoon by the way is the child in the back of the car looking at a Peak Oil headline and saying ‘are we there yet Dad’.
