Here's a very good analysis and perspective from Chris Puplava,

I love how he even brings global cooling into the mix. Very good read. The perfect "shitstorm" is right around the corner.

Yup, a good read.

That mention of "global cooling" was really off-the-wall. One paper and they are treating it as gospel. That is not the way climate science has progressed. Usually, it's taken probably hundred's of research studies, all pointing the same way.

That market pricing doesn't prepare us for what's to come doesn't need all those historical explanations. But I like the history about Rockefeller and all.

That's Jim Puplava. Thanks for the link, he was alluding to this paper on the show last Saturday.

I zone out all the anti-AGW yack from those guys, their show is excellent listening otherwise. Incidentally John Loeffler's some stripe of millenarian Christian, too: Listen Online to Steel On Steel hosted by John Loeffler includes an link for your email to get "persecuted church news updates." John threw out a free link to one of his SOS shows for FSN listeners a few weeks back, it was chockablock with advice on dealing with the Rapture or some such - weird. He never goes pulpit on FSN though.

I kind of roll my eyes when "Jim" dis's global warming, he is definitely not a believer (blames it all on the sun). This global cooling thing is new for him though.

The interesting things is that whether you include global warming or global cooling you come to the same ends. You are going to use more energy either way.

Very good article. For me, the global cooling thing is irrelevant. The article is still coherent without it.

Now is the time to invest in crude futures option calls! 8) I found it odd that he didn't explicitly say this.

Jim Puplava is the one who tipped me off to the true state of the economy years before it started tanking. He also has an excellant radio show which you can download every Saturday from his front page. I normally download the third hour.

I also love the articles which are archived. Here is a recent favorite:

Jim is also peak oil aware which is a big plus since you cannot accurately predict the state of the economy without factoring in that gorilla.
