[Peakoil] Things to come

[Keith Thomas]

That's odd. I have found that the complexity and controversy about  
climate change causes most people to throw their hands up in despair at  
ever understanding it. Peak oil is conceptually a comparative doddle.  
Perhaps oversimplifying a bit: Peak oil affects only one species;  
climate change affects every one. Peak oil is, therefore, easier to  
come to grips with - but for unfortunate reasons!

You may borrow my copy of The End of Suburbia, but I'd like it back.
