I heard an interesting thing in class today. It seems that the global production of crude oil is set to peak in the next couple of years. This is no trivial fact. The result will be that production will be slower and more expensive resulting in crude oil being more and more expensive. This will result in petrol prices being impossibly expensive and oil-dependent nations being pretty stuck basically.
I found a website that says much the same as today's speaker was saying: http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/
Our speaker tied it in with God's plan for the end times. He reckons that as oil gets more and more expensive, there will be more and more wars over the countries in North Africa and the Middle East that have the majority of the remaining oil. It's not too unrealistic a connection to make that the great end times wars and rumours of wars around Israel could well be relating to the shortage of oil.
It's interesting stuff, although not one of the more cheery things I've commented on.
