There has been quite a bit of media attention here this week around a Pacific Alliance meeting on climate change, mainly due to Australia and the U.S. being the only 2 countries not to ratify the Kyoto protocol.
I recently saw a report that the oil supplies are approaching a critical point where the demand is going to pass the ability of supply (not run out) possibly within 3-5 years. This would cause huge price increases and have a large economic impact globally.
The push for alternative energies is there, but is it really being implemented effectively?
Do you guys/girls believe your respective governments are doing enough?
Imagine what will happen if oil does become scarce. Life as we know it will be dramatically altered. Are people going to be able to go back to being hunter gatherers, or have we forgotten how to live like that? Look at the chaos in New Orleans and Pakistan. That would effectively happen everywhere, but there would be no help avaliable. |
