Thanks for your psychoanalysis, but as Opposition said, you didn't make any new points but just said "Study XYZ says that it will be terrible." So yes, discussing this any further would be pointless and a waste of time. You just seem to throw the words "Peak Oil!" around and expect everybody to be outraged. But no, it's obvious that oil will run out, it's not news. We'll have to wait and see how the world deals with it, and do whatever most of us do anyway by casting our votes on election day. It's not like nobody knows or cares about it, okay? You don't have to do any missionary work. Now if you don't mind, stop attacking me and go about your life. I hate it when people think "the end is neigh" and that nobody else knew about it, and I hate it even more when they throw out ad hominem attacks because reactions they recieve aren't excited enough.

It appeared to me that it was me who was being subjected to ad hominem attacks, rather than vice versa. Perhaps if you'd used a few more words?

I don't recognize your characterization of my earlier comments. I had thought we were merely exchanging views.

Peak oil has nothing to do with oil running out.
