Extreme heat, drought have ‘virtually no explanation other than climate change’

[Tonington]

That's what Peak Oil means.

Apparently, some people interpret peak oil as the end of oil. It's not hard to find out what it actually is... Nor is it a difficult concept to grasp. Big fields of cheap oil on production costs aren't discovered with the same frequency like they used to, oil becomes more expensive, and oil that is more difficult and hence more costly to produce becomes economical.

One wonders what part of that is either controversial, or difficult to understand...

Yes there is a massive drought in the Mid Western United States but is it
Global Warming? I wonder what they called the Dust Bowl of the Dirty
Thirties? No one knew about GW then did they. These things come in
cycles and what disturbs me is, we might have more than one year of it.
What will happen then? Will Global Warming's Chicken Little suffocate
in the dust of the Midwest?
I think we are experiencing our turn at global weather pattern changes for
years it was Africa, Australia, parts of Europe and now North America.
In a few years it will be someone Else's turn.
The real problem is we have developed a commercial food policy that does
not account for drought and distribution could mean food shortages for us
in Canada. you can bet Americans will look after their own needs first. Of
course in Canada we indulged in a cheap food policy so we don't have as
many farmers or the farm output we used to have. No on is talking about
that yet and it is the real emerging problem.

I have no idea why it's hard to understand, but some people can't grasp it. Fortunately, the geologists at the oil companies understand it, as do the other brains that are exploring for oil. If they were all like some here, we really wouldn't have any more oil.

Still debating global warming? I'll tell you what, if global warming is not already taking place then humanity is in for a hell of an ordeal when it finally kicks in. And that is the fact of the matter. Increasing greenhouses gases increases temperatures. That is a simple and undeniable scientific fact that has been conclusively proven by the historical record. Those who argue against this are simply unwitting or deliberate spokespersons for big coal, big oil, the automobile industry, and others. Maybe GW is not here yet, in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, but it will come inevitably. While we sit around with our fingers up our backsides debating the matter the Titanic is headed for the iceberg.

It's been so d@mn hot that I am definitely ready for Autumn right NOW!!!

So whats the solution? Everyone whines but has no solutions and dont want to give up what makes their cars go and heats their house?


Any solutions or just whining?

Shut all oil production down and let inflation go to high sky levels?

What?
everyone crys but no one has a solution.

I dont think I have seen one person yet on this forum that starts topics about the global warming without ever offering some solution to it.

It will be a complicated process getting this worked out, if it is still possible. This is why so many people are taking an active role in talking about the problem. I have never heard anyone jump up and demand the immediate stoppage of oil use, coal use, etc. But the solutions would have been more acceptable if we had made the effort twenty years ago. It looks now like the suggestions from back then will not work now.

Conservation and efficiency measures, from led lights to better generators in the big dams. High mileage cars and more buses and trains. Lower water use and re-use of wood. Planting more trees and on-site power developments. Industrial activity that is tuned into more efficient use of energy than it is to cutting energy costs, though that is part of it. Local food and fish production. Riding bikes where possible and avoiding planes.

The oil we have is going to get used, it would be sensible if we recognized its value and used it over the next thousand years instead of the next fifty.

It's funny to watch you displaying your lack of comprehension. I've got the popcorn.

This is what peak oil means.

Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of production is expected to enter terminal decline.

And we never seem to reach it.

We have come so far the last ten years,no one see's it and it's never shown on the news.
I'll post some before and after pics in a few days of my lease reclamation starting tomm.
I do nice work.

Lot's of "jumps" from the inspectors. 2 in a day is awesome.

Oh, and I suppose you've read all the posts? No, you haven't. There have been plenty of posts about solutions.
Here's a thread on the matter:

How many have been based in reality?

A sure sign of global warming....when the hot places get snow.

Kind of the same concept for why England got snow a couple of years ago. The warming causes Northern fronts to be pushed southward and snow shows up in unexpected spots.

Global warming must have been invented by a Telemarketer.....
First you find a non existent problem that touches a segment of the population then sell them something that will make you lots of money ....carbon credits.....Al Gore.....Suzuki...:smile:

To my thinking the summers today don't hold a candle to the sizzlers we had when I was a kid. Perhaps one of the problems today is that people don't have enough to do except to sit around and fret about the weather. Kids in Cranbrook just got a $100000 grant because there is nothing to do for kids in that community. :lol::lol::-(
