A good sober look at the future

[snousle]

Here's an article that talks good sense about oil production and global warming:

The Icarus Syndrome.

Worth a read. I particularly appreciate its attention to quantitative assessments of these issues, something that is too often absent from environmentalist perspectives. With all the flap about whether global warming is "real", there is very little about how much it matters. And the answer is: maybe not much, maybe a lot, but most likely not as much as things we don't even know about yet.

Interesting further commentary on the article here.
