they should also add average(as that's what they use for rest of stats anyway) oil usage per day.
oil used to date ! -- that would be telling how exponentially everything goes.

if this goes that rate as on these charts we will have to start nuking each other just to leave something for survivors

Weve got 15,641 days left of Oil, that is not good for me and my future

Folk have been going all 'end is nigh' about oil for 30 years. Sure, it's gonna end one day...finite resource. The thing is, new oil fields are being discovered and improved technologies have meant we can now retrieve more oil from the existing fields.

An Oil Arab who's name escapes me right now said...'The stone age didn't end because we ran out of stones.'

S & F OP

Thanks for providing that link.

This one seemed to jump out at me more than anything else "14,230 Species that have gone extinct this year"

That's alot of species to never be seen again.

....and it's only february.

Much of this data can be proven false overtime just because of the methods used to acquire it, Sure this might be good general estimates but it is ignorant to think they are not pushing an agenda. How can we know the species killed this year I am interested, doesn't scientific process ask that we verify data before we conclude it is correct. What is there verification form? Algorithms? I can make an algorithm that shows any piece of data that I want, doesn't mean it is scientifically tested and correct, just means I have an algorithm that calculates in real time and is the "best" possible data I can get that meets my needs.

Remember every source is biased unless you are willing to go out and test or challenge a piece of information it isn't a fact yet. Let us take # of species dead this year. Where does this information come from? A organization or a group of organizations, whose goal is to save species, biased right? Then how does it make sense to take it as truth.

Again I am not saying all data on the site is false but much of it is misleading.

Around 42 years, If I am lucky I will be around to see the world then. Even with new oil fields found it is still a finite resource and will eventually run out.

Unless it renews in internal earth conditions a lot faster than we think, or by other mechanisms than we think.

In that case we may never actually run out.

I am skeptical of the fossil fuel theory anyway. It might be geological. I haven't seen it proven either way.

This statistic was the most interesting.

1,021,736,216 - Undernourished people in the world right now

1,146,094,250 - Overweight people in the world right now

So the wealthy eat up the food the undernourished should be getting? I say we serve up the overweight people to the undernourished..

I understand where you are coming from and yes there is no conclusive proof either way, however it is my opinion that the process of converting x amount of whatever material to crude oil will take longer than 42 years. But again I may be wrong and actually I hope I am wrong.

In the long run this type of resource is way too expensive and inefficient, we are also too dependant on it for the production of many of our day to day items. The world is addicted to oil and like any addict cold turkey ( and I am not talking about the day after thanks giving ) is necessary before full recovery can be expected .

I came up with 42.8 years until the end of oil. That explains ALOT.
If only everyone could/would take the time to contemplate some of the information on that link.
There are some very interesting, and very sad stats. S&F

And that's just when oil is completely gone. According to peak oil theorists we only have a year or so until oil production reaches it's peak, then it's downhill from there and oil prices will sky rocket.

Oh wow...

We need a new form of energy too lol, and fast.

VERY cool website

Maybe the people who run that website could also estimate the money made from marijuana sales in the U.S. alone so we could get a realistic figure as to much much tax revenue that would generate in 1 year.

That may not solve all of our financial woes, but it would be a good start.



Peace

All drugs:
1. Increased revenues from tax.
2. Decreased health costs due to cleaner drugs.
3. Decreased crime.
4. More police per head for all other crime detection/prevention.
5. Removal of the main source of finance for terrorists!
etc etc

Some things should be pointed out:

1. You can't predict the "end of oil" because you don't know how much there is. A monkey should know by now that countries don't just go around telling media "oh there's unused oil here", including U.S. and Russia.
   
2. The current trend is rapidly changing due to economic crisis and multiple wars, so real data is unreliable. I am sure more people will commit suicide in coming years, more get obese, much more spend money on entertainment etc.
   
3. Statistics on this scale are not and cannot be calculated anywhere near correctly. Like the number of obese people or starving people - how many fatties are actually 'enlisted' and who would actually count starving people, or those died of starvation? Similar to the 10% 'jobless rate' in U.S. which many people consider a bad joke.
   
4. I also want to strongly point out that a lot of very important statistical figures are deliberately incorrect due to convenience of their use in propaganda purposes.

Good one. ;-)

And cannibalism starts in 7,426.352 days.

Dis-information is my main concern here.

Esp. oil left, deaths today, births today etc.

DEPOPULATE!DEPOPULATE!

think about it, whats the one thing we have to do to make the supply meet demand? decrease demand.

S&F for interest
