We should go back to our constituencies and explain all the odds. Climate Politics, UN Climate Change Conference 2009 2009-12-21T07:49:02+00:00 http://climatechange.thinkaboutit.eu/think2/post/new_data_on_peak_oil/ http://climatechange.thinkaboutit.eu/think2/post/new_data_on_peak_oil/#When:12:35:11Z A new article shows that the assessment of future oil supply in the World Energy Outlook 2008 by the International Energy Agency is too optimistic. It may turn out that peak oil, rather than concern for the environment, may motivate decision-makers to price carbon emissions.

It also underlines the worrying lack of policies in destination countries in the developed world to address environmental migration.

I hope that more people will take the time and reconsider their own balance of beliefs as responsible human beings, going beyond personal weaknesses of character.

The paramount issues are numerical targets for emmission reductions from the US and the amount of climate financing for developing countries.
