Peak Oil and a Changing Climate, a year-long research project, provides a snapshot of how unprepared our world leaders are for the coming global energy crisis and severe weather events, now common occurrences across the country.

1. Quick points from video
No smooth decline curve, expected step-wise descent with peak oil. (makes sense to me due to market fluctuations)

Plenty of oil remaining, peak oil refers to extraction costs, but this video also ties increased environmental risk with extraction costs. (harder and harder to reach places, more disasters.)

We should be worried, but systematic attempts are underway to downplay threat.
