"Peak Everything...And then?"
We often see statements such as " we are about to run out of ..., the world is going to collapse!", from the well thought out warnings of "Limits to Growth" and Hubbert, to less credible shock horror journalistic material. What is the real situation? Is there any way of finding out? And if we are running out is that the end of our civilisation or is there a future? Will recycling solve our problems?
This talk offers some structure for discussing this topic rationally, and has a stab at a positive direction for a post extractive world.
Ian Page gave a great talk last year on Peak Oil - this covers his latest research and, having had a preview of the content, is not to be missed!
