Anyone aware of “peak oil” theory?



Tldr: oil production inevitably slows down/plummets and billions of people starve to death/riot

oh lordy lordy

Im mildly prepped. But tbh its hard to prep food for over 2 years without land.

The fact that this idiot is saying subscribe like turn on bell all this bs before the stupid video even started makes me not want to watch it. Like i dont even know what your video is about or if its good but u expect me to do all that ....that tells me this content creator is low iq and i should not even bother watching the rest of this video.

Cliff it for me if you want but i aint watching this ****

Cliffs:
- A geophysicist (hubbert) theorized oil production is represented by a bell curve
- the worlds population exploded during the industrial revolution and largely due to the applications of oil
- oil is used in many ways for mass crop production which has aided the worlds population growth
- eventually the world will reach a peak oil production rate which will inevitably plateau and fall. The question here is when.
- the worlds population will surpass the supply of oil.
- if our primary energy source (oil) decreases we will not be able to maintain the current population. (Famine/riots)
- at the end he suggests that covid is the cover up/response. That’s up for debate but the peak oil part was interesting.

TLDR: we’re all gonna die as usual, yadda yaddda, new world order, satans demons, seek out Christ etc etc etc panic.

Hopefully at 95 in my sleep, not in a shootout over a roll of 1 ply

Repped you for taking the time to cliff but honestly, i don't see it as some smart theory or something useful. Sounds like a bunch of bs to me glad i didn't waste time watching the video.

I think we have advanced enough with nuclear solar and wind energy that we wont need to use oil in the future. If countries stop being scared of nuclear power we will be good...plus we got electric cars and planes in the works so oil is not going to be that big of a deal

He's 100 % right.

I dont even know who to believe anymore

they have been talking about peak oil for about 10+ years now. At least that was when I first heard about it.

Yeah a lot of the debate is when it’ll happen and if new innovation can prolong it but as long as the population continues to exponentially grow the crash is inevitable. After a certain point it will take more energy to retrieve the energy leading to that source being worthless. How reliant are humans on oil? If we have an exponentially growing population based on a finite resource that spells bad news.

under what rock did you crawl out opee like seriously lmao, are you gonna chit your pants about the Ozone Layer Hole next? lmao. in the meantime theres other stuff one might consider prepping for

Haha you’re right we have an unlimited supply of energy so no need to worry about an unimpeded exponentially growing population that is dependent on that specific resource.

The issue is population. By the time we realize we don’t have the energy to support and feed the current population the population would have overshot the supply and that’s when the chaos breaks out.

No telling when this happens hopefully long after I’m dead but someone’s going to be left holding the bag.

Way longer than 10 years.Well we could have engaged in a controlled switch over to different systems and standards, but we didn't. There are still a lot of applications where we don't have a very good substitute for petroleum based products.



Oil and gas don't just power transportation and generate electricity. Petroleum products are a massive input in modern industrialized agriculture and the various plastics, man-made fabrics, coatings, etc. affect pedestrian products, but are also major components in vehicles, computing devices, and medical devices.

Imagine if we had to revert to using glass syringes that must be sterilized and re-used.

It is hard for me to imagine daily life looking much the same without a large reduction in usage via conservation [better building design, less individual motorized transit, etc.]. And it isn't like this wasn't known to be an issue [finite planetary resources] decades ago. Better planning/zoning and higher standards for building insulation applied over the last 50 years could have made a difference.

Have you shaved OP? Because YOU should be prepping for deez nuts on your chin.

We are living in a different era now, technology has found alternatives to oil, so we will be safe (although some countries' GDP will take a hit), but that's ok.

lol peak oil.

these peak oil ecotards have been making wrong predictions for decades and will continue to be wrong for decades to come.

there's plenty of oil.

You should be prepping for truckers to go on strike, less than half are vaxed

TLDR: The world has a carrying capacity.

Big fooking surprise.

Whether it's oil or food or any other resources that ultimately causes us to reach that capacity is anyone's guess.

Th carrying capacity is about 10 billion though and we should reach that by about 2050.

As long as we can maintain the energy that is holding up our current capacity we’ll be alright. If the pop. overshoots our supply we’re fkd. If supply falls or hits a point of diminishing returns while the pop. continues to skyrocket we’ll be even more fkd.

Here’s a relatable study.

https://www.geo.arizona.edu/Antevs/n...1reindeer.html

Cliffs:
- 1944: 29 deer brought to food rich island
- 1957: average deer weighs more than domestically raised deer
- 1963: 6000 deer
- 1963: mass deaths
- 1966: 42 deer

Hopefully we’re smarter than deer. The main difference between humans and deer is that we aren’t gonna just ldar, we’ll go down fighting and maybe even nuking.

Maybe ole Billy Gates is on to something about population control

yeah 10+ means "ten or more"

go find a pie chart to prove me wrong
