Lite nattsvart dystopi

Här är en intressant intervju med Michael C. Ruppert författare till boken ”A Presidential Energy Policy: Twenty-five Points Addressing the Siamese Twins of Energy and Money”.

Rupert har totalt gett upp hoppet om möjligheten att lösa klimat- och energikrisen och även om jag gör en annan analys så är det på något sätt uppfriskande att läsa någon som inte anstränger sig det minsta för att låta käckt ”se möjligheterna!”-optimistisk.

Två smakprov ur intervun:

Peak Oil is not just the end of globalization. I was saying clearly that globalization was dead five years ago. It was obvious. But Peak Oil is potentially the end of the human race and that outcome is perhaps just a few years away unless the human race essentially throws every ideological sacred cow out the window and starts with a fresh piece of paper.

The collapse of industrial civilization within the next five to ten years (perhaps sooner) is inevitable. It is the degree of collapse, what is destroyed in the collapse, how many people will have to die in the collapse, and what will survive the collapse that I and many others are fighting for now. That is what every human being should be concerned about and nothing less. Pursuing options while not rapidly disengaging from the current economic paradigm of infinite growth is the only real issue confronting the entire species. To not do that will be literally to consign unborn generations and those under 40 to death or a living hell.
