One always worries about "hidden" agendas when reading such articles. Another view was expressed in 2006 by Marc Jaccard, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Jaccard) who was the bane of the oil industry a few years ago. www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2006/feb/05/business.climatechangeNevertheless, if you go to the energy reserves list at the bottom of my link page you can see that we can't be too complacent.

I think scaremongering with regard to oil/gas reserves, principled, comes from the same source as the CO2 alarmism. Obviously reserves are "finite" - it's just that we don't know what "finite" is.
And there are huge coal reserves that can be either burnt for power generation or converted into diesel for transport.
Plenty of time to come up with economic alternatives for fossil fuels. And I have a degree of confidence in the oil companies coming up with viable alternatives. After all, that is the nature of supply and demand in a market economy - as one resource is depleted prices for it rise promoting research into the alternatives and demand for the alternatives.
Massive state subsidy of wind and solar power is interfering with this self-adjusting market mechanism. Rarely has state subsidy ever backed a winner.

"May 2011 saw dramatic shifts in regional temperatures in the U.S., and the average temperature, 60 degrees Fahrenheit (16 degrees Celsius), fell just below the 20th-century average by 1.0 degrees F (0.6 degrees C)" "Of course, that doesn't mean all Earthlings felt the heat. Australia had one of its coolest Mays on record, while nearby New Zealand had its warmest May on record, according to NOAA. Arctic sea ice, which has been in decline for decades, was below average for the 120th consecutive month. " www.livescience.com/14815-2011-global-temperature-warming.htmlOh!

"Back from the dead: 800,000-year-old plankton" "A single-celled alga that went extinct in the North Atlantic Ocean about 800,000 years ago has returned after drifting from the Pacific through the Arctic thanks to melting polar ice. And while its appearance marks the first trans-Arctic migration in modern times, scientists say it signals something potentially bigger." www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/06/27/scitech/main20074671.shtml
