| Review: | Here Professor Gorelick presents the primary arguments and data that support and refute the idea that the world is running out of oil. He looks at the predictions in terms of science, history and economics. First key assumptions in the debate are summarised and then they are challenged. There are chapters on: The end of an oil era; The global oil landscape; The historical resource depletion data; Counter-arguments to imminent global depletion; and Beyond panic. |
