Heads in the Sand: Governments Ignore the Oil Supply Crunch - Global Witness

"The priority recommendation is the need for international recognition of the underlying fundamental problems that equate to an imminent oil supply crunch. It is hard to see how efective solutions can be developed until there is widespread recognition of the problem."

The Global Oil Depletion Report - UK Energy Research Center

"we suggest that a peak of conventional oil production before 2030 appears likely and there is a significant risk of a peak before 2020. Given the lead times required to both develop substitute fuels and improve energy efficiency, this risk needs to be given serious consideration."

Translation: get off yer arse and start working towards solutions!
