Yes, I meant it as a joke. Pretty sick - sorry.

And I agree with you, totally. Although at this moment, I am worried about peak oil even more than about climate change. Climate change means that in some twohundred years, we will probably see some sea level rise of several meters. Peak oil means that we will be in deep shit within the next five to ten years. One of these days we will discover that the big fields are getting dried up and the shit will hit the fan. Our modern society is completely dependent on the cheap energy and plastics from oil. Once the price shoots into the hundreds a barrel, things will get pretty interesting. I feel like one of those guys playing the violin on the titanic.
