I follow the global warming story quite closely. People I respect have changed their assessment from grim to terrifying.
I also follow the "peak oil" discussion. Some believers in peak oil also see scenarios unfolding that would be labeled terrifying. Some talk of 100 million in the USA having to die. Others think 5.5 billion (with a b) world-wide must die as the adjustment to peak oil is made. My own view is that the terror of global warming is both more certain and will be sooner in time than any cataclysm from running out of oil. Gene Coyle ^^^^^^ CB: That is very bad. Will the impact of global warming make it largely impossible to get the oil that remains, thus both cataclysms at once ?
