C_H's graph likely needs a link to its source, because that's not enough information to explain why the graph is so ... unimpressive.
Huh, interesting. You can see why peak oil was such a hot topic.
I'm glad we already discussed it to death, so the next time around the conversation will be more sophisticated.
As long as we don't get "There was a global cooling scare in the 70s!!!", or its equivalent.

Saying it didn't matter 'at all' over states the case. But it didn't matter to the extent it was believed that it would. Production costs are higher with unconventional crude.

It mattered to GM and Chrysler... If it weren't for peak oil, they might still be churning out gas guzzlers for astronomical margins.

that the world economy imploded and failed to convincingly recover for 6 years in the meantime isn't a big deal or anything.
debates aside as to whether there is a causal relation between the two, i maintain that if there had been no crisis in 2008, rising oil prices could very well have brought about another one. who knows where the price would have been had output remained on its pre-2008 trendline.
Well, I don't think that the skyrocketing oil and then food prices really helped anyone ...
It's in the lower right corner, from the St Louis federal Reserve. I'd type out a link, but I'm on mobile just now.
I have a question about the relationship between the two variables. How does the graph adjust or reflect the larger population that we have now versus 3 decades ago?
In 1984 we had 235 million, in 2010 we have 309 million. Also, the graph notes "noninstitutionalized" population. What does that mean? We incarcerate more people on both a relative and absolute basis than anywhere else, but we're only talking about a percentage point or two.. Not sure how that affects the interpretation of the graph.

Honestly, the fact that peak oil didn't come to pass is probably a bad thing long term, peak oil was a nice little double edge sword for slowing down AGW but without that threat, the chances of emissions reduction before major climate shifts occur isn't going to happen.
I'd like to get into this more, but I don't want to derail this classic thread. Peak oil is something I only stumbled across in any meaningful way about 5 years ago.
I guess my initial question would be, Why do you think peak oil hasn't already happen? Also, why do you think peak oil isn't going to happen in the next n years?
But as I said, I don't want to derail, so feel free to use this as a launchpad for a fresh thread if you want.

I'd leave that thread to someone who's a bit more qualified than myself, give it to one of our local local economists/environmentalists.

Portugal and Israel are alright. Brazil, Indonesia, and Chile though...
