Where can I find videos and interviews that counter Mike Ruppert's claims about Peak Oil and other things?

Question

A friend of mine is a full on Mike Ruppert fan and is always preaching doom and gloom to me. I want to know if there are other people out there are are a little more positive and have a real basis to back up their more positive views. Let me know... Thanks.

Answer 1

There isn't much out there that gives an intellectually honest opposing point of view, simply because Peak Oil has been regarded as so far on the fringe that it wasn't worth attacking in any meaningful way. Now that Peak Oil is widely accepted as factual (in what must be about the biggest turn-around in history), we'll probably see more debunkers coming out of the woodwork. The tendency among authors who have striven to deny peak oil is to create straw man arguments. I don't know of any videos or interviews with people who deny or downplay Peak Oil, but you could seek out authors such as Robin Mills, author of 'The Myth of the Oil Crisis' or Duncan Clarke, author of 'The Battle for Barrels', but I fear you wouldn't learn much that would be of any use.



As for Michael Ruppert, he is a bit of a conspiracy nut and a bit of a monomaniac, but he's pretty much right on this issue. More down-to-earth authors would be Matthew Simmons, author of 'Twilight in the Desert' and David Holmgren, author of 'Future Scenarios: How Communities Can Adapt to Peak Oil and Climate Change'. Authors who see Peak Oil as an opportunity rather than a devastating blow to human life include Rob Hopkins, writer of 'The Transition Handbook' and John Kurt Bledsoe, who wrote the article 'Return to the Good Years'.

It's amazing how many hits you might get. I've been tracking "Peak Oil" since the predictions became accurate at the national scale for the US in the early 1970s. I've verified Hubbert's curve with some of the best minds that I've run into. Mr. Ralph Nader and Professor Noam Chomsky both feel that this is a very serious problem for the human race and survival as a species. Given the fact that there is a huge and successful campaign to discredit and underplay this theory (paid for by the oil companies) I tend to believe this theory. Don't worry, the military will be the last group of people to have their aviation fuel supplies cut off. By the way, the invasion and occupation of the Middle East was predicted two decades ago.



By the way... What I've read of Mike Ruppert is spot on. He mentions the fact that the 9/11 Truthers are just poking a stick in the cage. It's not productive. He talks about how the US government and Western governments in general are non-adaptive and useless (dinosaurs), and maybe even dangerous. He has started to talk more about practical survival issues about what happens when the SHTF and with TEOTWAWKI. He wants to help teach those Titanic passengers how to build their own life rafts, so to speak.



I'm not sure why I'm telling the world about this when I should be building my own life raft, but perhaps a critical number of us can make a difference.

worldwide warming is via some distance a much bigger concern, inspite of the shown fact that, I view height oil as area of the answer to worldwide warming, no longer unavoidably yet another concern. With height oil, worldwide grant of oil can't save up with the call for, which will boost the cost of oil. quicker or later, inspite of the shown fact that, the cost of oil gets so costly that we are going to start keeping the oil we presently use. it is referred to as call for destruction, and that i think of we are beginning to work out it with gasoline around $4/gallon. all people is using much less, procuring and advertising of their SUVs for a smaller vehicle, even Ford and GM have been shutting down truck flowers to construct smaller vehicles. With height oil upon us, there'll be some financial discomfort, yet i think of our society can look after it. i think of if the U. S. superior a countrywide renewable capacity coverage that mandated an ever increasing % of our electrical energy be generated via image voltaic/wind/geothermal capacity, combine that with enormous tax breaks and different incentives for customers to purchase plugin electric powered hybrid vehicles that would desire to be on the industry quickly, we will get out of this mess ok. inspite of the shown fact that, if we insist that we are in a position to drill our way out of this concern, we are only going to make it a lot worse.

Peak oil isn't doom and gloom, it's a fact.
