  • Thanks for that sterling appraisal of a man who has won a Nobel Prize, while you have won,.... ? Diamond's re-imagining of collapse and creation of societies is brilliant. Peak oil is a fraud? Prove it. US: peaked. Russia: Peaked. Mexico: Peaked. England/Norway: Peaked. Tell us, genius, as all these areas peak around the world - and they ALL do/will... where does the new oil come from?

  • China exceeded US fuel consumption years ago. We need to get away from it, and get to wind and solar.

  • @ManicEightBall Russia peaked in the 1980's.

  • If I can't get sum gasoline in my car to drive to McDonald and get my big mac, I'm gonna join the Marine and start kickin' sum butts.

  • @kkob Dr. Diamond did not win a Nobel Prize. He won the Pulitzer for Guns, Germs, and Steel.

    lol.

  • @AngilasGuy

    because the book obviously conforms to your redneck, hillbilly beliefs you piece of shit. I refuse to be whitewashed by a person who has no political science background. he clearly has no idea what he is talking about. Africans are not savage people they had history and civilizations that helped shaped the modern world.

  • @thegill666

    Read his book dipshit, you obviously have no idea what he's talking about.

  • this guy is a racist and not a historian. he just speculates and does not provide concrete evidence. he jumps around randomly and he is not able to answer a simple question.

  • Meh I hate saying peak oil, it's not a good way of putting it.

  • @mrzack888 "Peak oil is a fraud."

    Oil production has peaked in the UK, America, Iran, and many other countries, and has never gone back up to high levels again. It's just a matter of time before other countries peak. Saudi Arabia and Russia are expected to peak within a few years.

    Peak oil has arrived.
