Getting Ready for Climate Change and the End of Cheap Oil A Post Carbon Guide . In the beginning of his lecture he used a series of graphs to illustrate the peaking of global supplies of oil and natural gas.

Interview
Since the 1994 release of The Geography of Nowhere, author James Howard Kunstler has been among the most acerbic critics of North American urban design. Kunstler has argued that suburban sprawl has left citizens almost entirely dependent on cars, just as the world nears the historic peak of oil production. What happens after we pass that fossil fuel "tipping point"?
