I was happy for Ekrem and Turkey. I can't help it if Jiggles keeps thinking with his inoperable brain tumor.sheeeesh Ekrem posts a thread to brag about his country finding a new source of energy and you guys turn it into an argument about peak oil and global warming
:doh:
This is just too much! LOL. Your whole perspective is based on one theory that has NEVER come true in the history when viewing the course of mankind and society: The "Straight Line Assumption".
Things have always gone this way, so they will continue to be this way. The business cycle is always ignored till it corrects or recovered. Idiots always claim that the good or bad times roll on forever. Chaos theory prevents us currently from accurately predicting so far out.
So since we can't predict the weather at a particular local, accurately, outside of 24-36 hours, you expect to know the approximate "mathematically accurate" where we're going to run out of fuel. You've taken EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE RANDOM VARIABLE THAT COULD POSSIBLY EXIST into account and packed it into that little computer model you got, and will have the correct answer. Is that what you're trying to tell me Professor Frink?
Standard variables that peakers deliberately ignore: Technological improvements in the collection, use and refinement of oil. New find in places previously out of reach,
the changes in consumption due to economics and politics.
And of course, ignoring the fact that we energy realists...
... do know there will be a replacement energy source coming along soon enough when it becomes the most economically viable with the highest EROEI.
Instead you try to claim that we're ignoring peak oil because we're too racist, sexist, homophobes. Way to compare apples to transmissions to lace doilies.
About as useful as chicken shit on a pump handle. That's what good peak oil faithers are.
much like George Bush.
We don't ignore those variables at all, liar.
You're a Godder, aren't you?
As long as we never look, improve in technology, or develop new ways to utilize more effectively the resources we have Because no matter where we look, what we do, or how much better we do it... it can NEVER EVER EVER IMPROVE, and those who disagree should be shot lest they spread their treason.My argument: What we have
Nope, based on historical precident. When you get government out of the way, and psychotics like yourself, we tend to find MORE energy, and develop MORE efficent ways to collect it and utilize it. Always happens, and till you can prove where and how oil is conclusively produced, we don't know how much more we will find. But unlike you, Jiggles, I don't compress the timeline and lie about what's really blocking further development.Your argument: What we hope
What in God's name are you even talking about here? What does ANY of that have to do with the topic at hand? Your lame extrapolations and piss-poor analogies will not change the focus. You can add as many dimensions as you like, but they all sound like hope-based assumption in the face of raw data and geological science. Sorry, you lose.
Dude, I have little doubt that you didn't even know what EROEI referred to before I brought it to your attention back in May.
This wins for biggest strawman, among so many.
This is underscored by the fact that you actually just said you all "know there will be a replacement energy source coming along soon enough..."
God "wants us to consume." LOL...
