You have criticised Narcissist for being dumb, for not being aware of the Blue Mountains railway (14 July 11:28AM), but your criticism does not make sense. In that post, there was a clear reference to the coal industry relying on oil; trains being dependent on either coal or electrity.
One may argue that the trains would continue to run, but its not dumb to point out the dependency most industries have to oil.
I note that Narcissist picked up on you saying "you can't have both peak oil and continued global warming" (12 July 4:01pm). Were you feeling a bit sour about that?
For the record, I agree with you that Narcissist has painted a too pessimistic future, but is a dismissive attitude any more helpful?
