None, I am just preparing for decline. I took PO seriously for a time and learned from it. You obviously are learning from nothing and just locked into everything is great and I am great BS. Obviously you got a attitude issue with how wonderful you are.
I might have an attitude about having known better than to take PO seriously, but that is as far as it goes. Not that you would know that...being REAL green and all, compared to all the fake green folks.

It is not any one issue it is the summation, converging, and reinforcing of all of the above issues. I don't need to list them becuase if you don't already know them then you lack a scientific background to debate anyway.
Oh stop, now you are doomer projecting. "Gee, I was silly enough to fall for peak oil, and learned how stupid I was when it comes to complex topics like this, but THIS TIME...I'VE GOT IT CLOCKED!!"
REAL Green wrote:AdamB wrote: Optimism had nothing to do with knowing peak oil doom was a crock. That science thing again...don't cherry pick to support your belief system, critical and objective thinking, etc. etc.
Blind optimism is denial and delusion and that clearly describes you plus add in cocky and nasty. Itemize the cherry picking and explain "belief system".
Don't get me started on the Church of Peak Oil.

OMG what are you? Some 14 year old who doesn't know squat about how long doomers have been proclaiming the end of the world? Earth Day 1970 ring a bell? Do you know ANYTHING about the history of the church of doom?
Start here, and explain how you ain't..this. I don't mind conversing with doomers, but for the love of pete at least recognize what you are, as expressed by the prior link, and then you can tell me why you aren't just
another one of these.REAL Green wrote:My doomerism is academic and a life system of living more sustainable and resilient. A simpler life closer to nature. Honest and accepting instead of pretentious and excessively proud like you. Life as we know it may not end or it may. It might be a process of decline very gentle or an extreme of events that cause a cascading collpase. I am planning for a way of life under pressure and in decline. I plan for both possibilities but understand slow decline is survivable but a hard collpase maybe not. This thinking has resulted in a very rewarding way of life I call REAL Green.
Sure. See the two links above, you start with those, and then built your cool doomer scenario around your favorite scenario. Doom Fantasy League play, as it were.
Doomers do it all the time. They like fishing or hunting, so doom is the excuse to get a fishing or hunting cabin. Doomers in the city love talking abut BOBs, MZB fearing doomers talk guns and homemade claymores, the eco-interested claim growing tomatoes in window boxes are the cure. You aren't any different, and no more real, than all these folks. When doom can be as slow as the next 4 peak oils, or as fast as a continental sized flood basalt flow, it is unlikely that you have prepared for the doom that you get. You prep for the one you LIKE. Come on REAL Green, this is all in the church handbook, you are going through it point by point as best I can tell.
