video: LAND WALKER/Japanese Robot suit/Mech Warrior prototype
If you happen to be familiar with Transformers, or the Japanese cousin (or origin thereof?) the Mecha - gigantic human-controlled robots capable of fighting intergalactic battles, this is - to many - a step "into the future".
More than 60 percent of U.S. in drought
Still arguing there won't be a Malthusian catastrophe? What, do you really think that irrigation is going to fix that problem? Get real.

Format change
For those of you who have been regularly reading my posts, sorry about the mess on the front page. I've decided to change the formatting to at least make it more readable.
More blackouts feared in California
Among many other reports of blackouts. Simple logic: blackouts are caused by energy demand from customers: industrial users, individual users, small businesses. The world does not have enough resources to allow every man, woman, and child the use of an air conditioner, every time, in 100+ degree weather, for the next 100 years. There's simply not enough energy. In the next 20 years, don't think the cost of the American lifestyle is gonna hit you? Think again.

Miliband unveils carbon swipe-card plan
This article sure has undertones of "666"/one world government to it, in one sense. But realistically, such an ordinance would be impossible to enforce, especially with six billion people, corrupt authorities, and the implausibility of free-market rationing. More on this in another post.

Did World War III start yesterday morning?
The great thing about predicting human events is that you are so often wrong. In this case, nothing would make me happier than to be in error. But, G-d help us all, I think the odds aren't that bad that I' m right. It is possible that yesterday morning, we started World War III.

Coping with high oil prices
An excellent article talking about the economics of Peak Oil via EnergyBulletin. Among some questions that were approached were: with energy prices so high, why isn't the "world" suffering from a massive economic downturn? Have firms been taking a hit at all?
Unfortunately, due to its West-centrism, it fails to acknowledge that the high prices have effectively destroyed semi-developed countries such as Zimbabwe, and is working against some countries exporting oil such as Indonesia and Qatar due to outdated domestic policies regarding subsidies.

Crude Oil Rises to Record as Middle East Conflict Escalates
Please note that these posts aren't meant to create anxiety or arouse a sense of apocalypticism (i.e., the world is ending very soon). Rather, peak oil is virtually guaranteed to create massive problems (and already has) with much of the third and developing world, which in turn means greater exploitation, greater nationalism and protectionist policies, an increasingly larger wealth distribution gap.

We Must Preserve The Earth's Dwindling Resources For My Five Children
I know I haven't posted in a very, very long time. My apologies. In truth, I've been circling around it like a vulture, trying to figure out what to do with it. However, that doesn't change the fact that we are quickly changing this place to a hell-on-earth, Malthus-style.
