Yea, that's much more real than recruiting Death Cavalry among us But, to say optimistically, it's not the end, it's just a beginning. Read Scouts' books about surviving in wildlands

@ Hitman & Negr:
A couple of months ago I read in Time Magazine a polemic column against the "oilcrash" thinking. I don't have it anymore but it sounded very convincing and ended with the words that this planet doesn't lack oil - on the contrary - but the political will to go after it...

I think I found the link (there were actually two articles defending both points of view): http://www.time.com/time/archive/pre...122019,00.html

Ahhhww, you need to have a subscribtion, sorry!

This was the guy who wrote the article: prof. Peter Huber and this is the link to some of his controversial book "The Bottomless Well" (I haven't read the book nor fully studied the subject so I'm not taking sides, although I love controversy and I have an optimistic nature):

Ah yes the famous Peter Huber

I am not going deep in the critizism of his points of view, but suffice to say that he does not consider envirnment damage as a relevant issue. So, even if he would be right in his conclussions about how to fuel the world in coming decades with fossil fuels, his solution would bring the biggest increas in pollution since the coal era

Anyway and related to this topic (So I don't feel sad of adding it), here is an article about the biblic four horsemen in today's terms of fears and menaces to our world:

You gotta remember that the Bible is mainly written with symbolism, so the four horsemen could well be represented by modern plagues or threats.
