Jeremy Leggett - Peak oil meets climate change (1 of 5)

[mphello]

I don't believe bogus science that "socialism and communism cause fascism" or "socialism and communism are guaranteed to fail". All economic systems (theocratic, capitalist, communist) HAVE to be sustainble in order to survive. Another necessary condition: every participant in them has to agree to them.

Arnold Rimmer!

I dont beleive in bogus science about Carbon Dioxide warming the planet,

however , I do believe that Carbon Tax is a cover story for reducing the consumption of oil. Peak OIL is probably here.

[MrEnergyCzar]

Peak oil will make it very hard to cope with just about anything including climate change....

[SCOTCHSOLACE]

The denialists are very poor at assessing risk. It will likely cost our species much more in the long run to do nothing than it will to implement carbon emission reduction programs. We can begin paying now in the form of reducing our carbon footprint or we can pay later in the form of massive die off. Please read "The Black Swan" for insight into the threat of unintended consequences due to a misunderstanding of risk.

It's very surprising to see people denying the changes in climate that we are witnessing in real time. People who talk this rubbish should make their way to either the North or South pole.

Honestly the fighting on it puts the other off on both sides and makes the other more stubborn. I have heard both sides and I can say I'm not yet convinced myself. I think I am and then watch another side showing proof to the contrary and show the faulty reasonings on both sides. Truthfully I'm torn. I'm not against going green and doing what was right in my power but its the governments that must allow affordable access to things they say they are worried about YET ours is at war = BILLIONS

[Vorticistick]

@martingiannini I agree. We should be ignoring the denialists now, explaining to them that their views are out of date and that the debate is about how to deal with man-made climate change, not if it exists.

[JonThm]

Sorry, have a busy life here! Global Warming was only ever a flight of academic fiction - supported by computer models, not reality!

[JonThm]

Scientists can't even get the weatehr right tomorrow! And now they want to cost you 10s of billions!

[bettylove1111]

More, more need to hear this.

[Alacrates]

Great presentation. Jeremy Leggett seems to be best at presenting at global warming and peak oil in combination - they are both highly interconnected, and we should be aware of the both, and get to work on these as quick as possible.

[martingiannini]

Jeremy is at the top of his game. The message is clear and coming from a business head.... we all have to take Climate Change and the looming Energy Crisis very serious and there is no time to waste. Continuing to sit on our laurels ain't gonna fix a thing.

[JonThm]

'Climate Change' is PR from nuclear power, broadcast by stooges. Was Jeremy paid? Or just stupid.
