The Four Energy Descent and Climate Scenarios
 

I like this site.
It at least offers some hope to collapse scenarios:

The Four Energy Descent and Climate Scenarios
Four Energy Descent scenarios are considered, each emerging from a combination of either fast of slow oil decline and either mild or severe climate change over the next 10-30 years.

Brown Tech: (slow oil decline, fast climate change)

Green Tech: (slow oil decline, slow climate change)

Earth Steward: (fast oil decline, slow climate change)

Lifeboats: (fast oil decline , fast climate change)

I believe in climate change, the world is getting warmer and all the predicted consequences will probably happen. I just don't believe it is man made, nor do I believe there is anything mankind can do to change what is causing it. Having said that, the four options given seem to link global warming with oil consumption, it is the sun that causes global warming, not oil consumption imvho.

We may not be the only cause (climates have very long cycles)
But we most certainly contribute to it.

And this is something we should not be hurrying alone by any means!
