Peak Oil

Hi bloggies, yesterday was quite an amazing day for me,

#1- It was hot- a definite plus
#2- Me and Neil got to have a lovely walk to hove
#3- It was the Brighton Marathon- theres nothing more inspiring than seeing someone do something that should be impossible- either for themselves or for a charity- if you have done it I SALUTE YOU!!

I also went to see an environmental film called a crude awakening! Well being into environmental issues these days sure can stir up some controversy- I mean I was just talking the other day- if you where a shirt saying something that might be abit progressive like "save the planet" or something or possibly even "recycle"- you inevitably get someone wanting to force there opinions down your throught- and usually they are talking bollocks-hehe, hence I don't where shirt's like that! Even though I live in quite a liberal place, peoples views on climate change are so mixed.

The film was about Peak oil. I have spoken on this blog about the illusions we live in, Peak Oil is important to everyone on this planet, why are we not doing anything about it? we have plunged our sources right down and are now in Iraq getting there oil, and Saudi Oil also. Going into ever more dangerous countries in a quest to save our way of life. Western culture is seen as the perfect choice for developing nations- who would choose to live in poverty? People in developing nations are demanding oil, wanting it cheap and fast, but it isn't going to last forever is it? Oil runs out, and we may have already reached peak oil. How long can we sustain our way of life? When is the transition going to happen?

I feel that there is so much mixed messages with climate change- hence feeling confused with the reality of it I can understand. But just taking this issue separately from this for a minute, we are living in a bubble that is about to be burst. We are facing in the future the reality of war on oil, countries facing depleted stocks, lets get things straight- OIL is in everything!! even the vegetables harvested would not be there in there numbers if it wernt for the machinery in the fields chugging away to get them in, packaging machinery does allot of work for us now too. So it makes total sense Canada digging up there tar sands doesn't it? were running out of oil, and what makes it worse is that we arnt being told the facts, and arnt trying to limit the amount we us very well either. If oil runs out you can sure bet there wont be any big summer flights- there may not be any flights at all... so even if you are confused in climate change I'm sure you can appreciate the fact that even this on its own is threatening our way of life- not to mention how much pollution it causes. I think climate change needs to be a bigger issue, why arnt polititions placing it higher on there bills? it may soon be to late...
