The most important question facing the human race is how we respond to the interconnected crises of Peak Oil, climate change, overpopulation, and other resource conflicts. How we use the remaining oil determines the future of the human race: do we “spend” it on solar panels or battleships? on relocalizing food production or further “globalization”? Everything else in this presentation is merely a detail. Answering these questions requires additional inquiry: why we have not gotten there and what it would take to make these shifts? We are in a trap - if we don’t keep our civilization fueled, it will collapse, probably in a global war over resources. But if we keep using as much energy as we are currently using, the planet’s biosphere will collapse, and we along with it.
