Which is why you are outranked.  I do know who the IEA is, so they have credibility.  You don't.  Of course, just a couple of weeks ago you insisted that I DO know who you are.  Again, you try to have arguments both ways depending on what is expedient.  One day you argue I know you, the next you argue I don't.  How convenient.  One day you explain to me how the IEA is the most accurate information in the industry, the next day you argue how they got it wrong back in 2006 or wheenever so they're wrong now.  How convenient.

You don't have to use the word idiot for the meaning of your post to be clear, your implication by reviewing old predictions is that since those didn't pan out as predicted, neither will these.  The subtext is quite obvious.

The basis of all your arguments is Appeal to Authority (you being the authority), but then when presented with opposing opinions from real, recognized authorities who are not anonymous trolls skulking around the collapse blogosphere, your argument is that those authorities are wrong.  YOU purport to be the only authority who can be believed!  It's like the cross examination scene from "Inherit the Wind" where the Clarence Darrow character is cross examining the William Jennings Bryant character (named Brady in the play) about Evolution as an Expert on the Bible and what people should believe.  "God tells Brady, and Brady tells the World.".

You are a self-important, self-obsessed narcisstic blowhard with a huge chip on your shoulder because you grew up as poor white trash in Appalachia.  You get some sort of catharsis by insulting people anonymously over the internet.  It's just pathetic.
