Quote from: RE on Today at 05:54 PMQuote from: TDoS on Today at 04:04 PMRemember the last time it was the Doomsday for oil? 1979is still my favorite. The modern peak oilers didn't have nuttin compared to that global peak oil.
It's the same collapse. It just has ebbs and flows.
I am just going by the definition you provided earlier is all. These collapses are tricky things, especially with your good definition.
Quote from: RE'79 was an earlier stage with half the world current population and a lot more cheap oil still remaining. This round is likely to be a bit tougher. We'll know in a few months I think.

By 1979 the President had gone on TV and announced that the world would run out of oil by the end of the 80's. The concept hadn't been discredited yet by the internet and hangers on without two neurons to rub together but an urge to collect clicks and likes and whatnot.
In hindsight it certainly seems like a silly collapse meme back then, but it was as real in the moment as the peakers who began playing eeny meeny miney mo with 1990 global peak.
I'm willing to give it a few months before your definition of collapse shows up. Eat, drink and be merry because in a few months....want to make a bet on it happening?
