Chris | 03-02-2008 21:01 | Analysis | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Sheffield

BP: Climate Policy Will Cause Peak Oil

Chris | 24-01-2008 15:23 | Analysis | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Sheffield

In a unbelievable presentation to the All Party Parliamentary Group on Peak Oil and Gas on 16th January BP's Special Economic Advisor Peter Davies (no other oil company was prepared to address this group) claimed that "there's a distinct possibility that global oil consumption could peak as a result of climate policies" -- in other words NOT because supply problems but because of a reduction in demand! If you believe that governments around the world are going all out to reduce oil demand and switch to renewables then perhaps you might believe this... Of course they are not...

The APPGOPO Press Release on this presentation, which links to a MP3 of the event, follows, this presentation is being discussed on the PowerSwitch forum:  http://www.powerswitch.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6231

Does the progressive left really believe in climate change?

Chris | 09-01-2008 16:17 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Social Struggles | Sheffield | World

There is an interesting thread on the MediaLens discussion board about the following article, "Does the progressive left really believe in climate change?".

While the following article makes good points about the left and climate change the same thing can be said of the left and peak oil — however all these things were brought together in a talk that Nafeez Ahmed gave last November.

One minor thing struck me from the MediaLens discussion, a poster there comments that:

I've seen anarchists on Indymedia arguing fiercely in support of mobile phone companies against residents living near masts who have suffered alarming health problems - on the grounds that they have no scientific proof of their complaints as compared to the mobile companies.

Which appears to indicate to me that she hasn't appreciated the extent that this site is troll'ed...

How do Community Gardens and Agriculture adapt to Peak Oil and Climate Change

Transition Town | 23-12-2007 15:31 | Climate Chaos | Sheffield

Peak oil will present many different challenges in the coming years but will also offer several opportunities for local growers. A need for localised markets will make community gardens a vital part of the city economy but will we be able to cope with our new found demand.

Beyond The Point Of No Return -- It's Too Late To Stop Climate Change

Ross Gelbspan | 14-12-2007 20:36 | Analysis | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Sheffield | World

As the pace of global warming kicks into overdrive, the hollow optimism of climate activists, along with the desperate responses of some of the world's most prominent climate scientists, is preventing us from focusing on the survival requirements of the human enterprise.

The environmental establishment continues to peddle the notion that we can solve the climate problem.

We can't.

We have failed to meet nature's deadline. In the next few years, this world will experience progressively more ominous and destabilizing changes. These will happen either incrementally -- or in sudden, abrupt jumps.

Under either scenario, it seems inevitable that we will soon be confronted by water shortages, crop failures, increasing damages from extreme weather events, collapsing infrastructures, and, potentially, breakdowns in the democratic process itself.
