The Business of Climate Change Conference 2009

Jeff Rubin, the former Chief Economist of CIBC World Markets and the author of Why Your World Is About To Get A Whole Lot Smaller built his reputation as one of Canada's top economists based on a number of successful predictions including the housing bust of the early 90s and the rise of oil prices. In his recent book, Mr. Rubin predicts $225 per barrel oil by 2012 and with it the end of globalization, a movement towards local sourcing and a need for massive scaling up of energy efficiency.

Let's see, and you are currently or have been the Chief Economist where?

Windbag! You have nothing substantial to offer in rebuttal so you do what you do best - offer the empty reply of a pompous ass.

water is really important!!

[rustymason001]

Cost is not the important factor. The important variable is energy-in vs. energy-out. We are running out of the 1/30 oil and are now looking at 1/20 and 1/10 sources, which means we will need to produce ever faster just to stay at the same net level of energy production just to stay even.

[rustymason001]

Why does he talk like that? Very weird. Good presentation otherwise.
