The peak oil and global warming debate

This Friday on the show, I will be airing a debate that took place yesterday between Rob Hopkins from Transition Towns and Ian Crane a researcher from Totnes who spent 20 years in the oil business. We were also joined by scientist and global warming expert Peter Taylor.

Transition Towns regard Rob Hopkins as their greatest asset, yet as you will hear in the debate, he may yet turn out to be their greatest liability.

His seeming inability to answer various challenges made by Mr Crane, refusal to examine the evidence in front of him and lack of actual evidence himself, left him wide open to large amounts of criticism, and whilst Ian may have put a few nails in his coffin, Peter Taylor certainly nailed it shut!

Peter provided some of the best evidence I have seen to date, to suggest that global warming is in fact global COOLING and his own background and evidence suggest he hasn’t been wrong yet in many years of research.

Ian meanwhile, provided strong evidence that we are nowhere NEAR peak oil as yet, and that there are at least 3 TRILLION BARRELLS available in four States of the USA alone.

It does suit the oil companies to have a high-price on fuel that will stay high in the future, so it’s little wonder they are not denying peak oil in the press! There is allegedly much for their shareholders and senior management to gain financially from these rumours doing the rounds!

Listen in Friday and make your own minds up
