Analyst James Howard Kunstler just gave a speech to the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco. The transcript is available at the link above. Kunstler describes a dramatically changing world in the aftermath of the passage of the peak of world oil production, which may have already occurred. He discusses the denial of society, the unwillingness of politicians to tackle known reality, and the fantasies of those who cannot wrap their minds around the reality that the world is changing forever in fundamental ways. Kunstler describes how virtually all aspects of our daily lives will be radically altered, from housing to transportation to food supply and on and on. Immense challenges will face our society as well as us as individuals to survive and carry on on a daily basis in a radically altered world. These are the things we had better begin to think about seriously, in my opinion, because the theory of unsustainability of our civilization is about to become reality, in my opinion. I think that Kunstler does a great job of laying out a plausible scenario of what we might expect moving forward, even in the remainder of this decade.
