Peak Oil Matters

Fossil fuel — oil, natural gas, coal — production should peak within the next half century. The term “peak oil” refers to the point at which crude oil reserves reach maximum production rate, and then starts to decline. This scenario states that any resource is finite, and employs the Geophysicist M.K. Hubert’s “Single-Hubert” approach to [...]

Hydraulic fracturing is the controversial practice of injecting water, sand, and chemicals under extreme pressure into wells, which fractures shale so that previously inaccessible natural gas can flow to the surface.  In the past six decades, this method has delivered 600 trillion cubic feet of natural gas to American consumers, but at a high cost.  [...]

Global Food Insecurity—Fisheries are Being Destroyed

Rising acid levels in oceans have become a huge threat to coral reefs and consequently the food security. Scientists claim nearly 1 billion people in the world depend on seafood as their main source of protein. The high acidity levels are due to the oceans absorbing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The gradual climate [...]
