Fafblog gives me hope!
Fafblog! the whole worlds only source for Fafblog.:
"'Oh but Giblets we will run out of resources and the world will end and oh what will we do.' You mean what will you do. Giblets doesn't need the world to last forever. He just needs it to last longer than he plans to use it. By the time the smog-choked Malthusian apocalypse comes Giblets will be long gone, either escaped in a rocket to Mars or happily expired in the midst of a gluttonous week-long oil binge. Those suckers from future generations can sweat it out trying to make a hemp-powered plane or edible plastic - serves 'em right for bein' born in the future! In the meantime there's only so much food, fuel, land, and water to go around, and Giblets is gonna use up as much as he can before any other Gibletses can get their grubby little hands on it! Fire up the engines! Pump up the nitrates! Giblets wants to stuff a panda full of coal just to watch it burn!"
that's the key to optimism!
MAYBE I'LL DIE BEFORE IT GETS MUCH WORSE!
whooohooo!
anyway, go read the whole thing...
it's funny...
and the punchline is dead-on...

Except that if you read and believe that "life after the oil peak" thing you'll realize life's going to get much much MUCH worse in the next five to ten years, much sooner than most people think... that's because they think the danger only starts when we run out of our natural resources, rather than the point where the supply and demand curves pass each other going in opposite directions...

I'm still rooting for cataclysmic climate change...
is there a word for change that starts with a "k" sound?
what can I say? I'm a sucker for alliteration.
