CO2 global warming is a red herring

The real cause of global catastrophe will be the dip in oil production

I remember when stores only ran out of cabage patch dolls

Britain has a few weeks reserves of oil supply.

In those few weeks every agricultural tractor stops.

Every truck supplying your suppermarket stops.


Think about it. How full are the shelves of you local supermarket on the evenings in the run up to christmas?

They know it is coming and can't get enough supply fast enough.

How long after the trucks stop will your local shop be empty?

To some this would appear facetious. But you are absolutely right.

That is a great illustration.

I live in the Forest.





We saw much deer track today.

Learn to fletch, and knap flint,

The propellent in your bullets is made from oil, and the ore for the metals in your ammunition has to be delivered to a smelting plant, them the metal to the manufacturer.

And bow hunting usually uses metal arrowhead, and composites in the bow and arrow shafts.

Dude, I am stocked and provisioned at all times.





Where I live, electricity is not even a given over the most of the year.

We also have all sorts of bounty from the forest that requires only hunter-gatherer skills. Trapping squirrel, for example, is a no brainer.

Box, funnel, peanut butter.

MRE?

You have a great advantage. But the cities will starve. Countries like Britain will cease to exist.

Currently our milk is imported from Germany. When we can no longer do so, we won't have cattle to milk. Which will be just as well since we won't have the energy sources to run the milking machines.

Stop gloating!

We can't choose where we're born, but if the shit hits the fan, I'll be glad as all git out that I left the Kansas desert for the rain forest.






We do have a couple of guys with funny accents teaching at the college.

It's that or the seaboard.

This was France

A year before 9/11/2001 happened in the USA, a ‘terrifying incident’ of a different sort happened in Europe that changed how political leaders across the world would forever understand the essential role oil resources played in the ‘developed nations.’ It started with a few angry French fishermen who found it harder and harder to make a living with the price of gas increasing, and blamed government taxation. They were so angry, they protested by blocking the English Channel, an entrance to a port that prevented oil tankers from delivering fuel supplies. The protest quickly and spontaneously spread to farmers and truck drivers, who blocked oil refineries and distribution depots. The situation became so serious, according to one report, “that the government considered using police and troops to force the removal of blockades, but massive public sympathy for the action, estimated at 88 percent in favour, made such an option all but impossible. A Jospin aide told the press, ‘If we can avoid a direct confrontation like that we will. One knows how that kind of thing begins. One doesn’t know how it ends.’”(

Same country whose hospitals were unprepared for a heat wave...




The one our glorious leader wants to emulate!




That and Norway, 'cept we won't drill for OUR oil!

Reminds me of a Dennis Leary gag. He was talking about the potato famine: "It's a fucking island, have they never heard of fishing rods?"

They advertise this? I'm not sure they'd tell anybody exactly what they
have of anything.
