Dear Bazz,

You claim: “Well, I got that right didn't I; Peak Crude Oil ocurred in 2005”

Well no it didn't. In 2005 global oil production was 81,895,000 barrels per day.

From there it climbed every year from then except for 2010 during the GFC and 2020 due to the pandemic. In 2019 it was 94,961,000 so well over 10% from your so called peak.

Read what I said again and think of fracking.
Study what that means and think again.

Pretty funny Paul. You demand evidence while refusing to provide any yourself. I think we all know why.

Still, to show you how its done....

Like Paul, the article is very critical of the Curtin government and thinks it was extremely racist. But even then it admits that "a maximum of 0.9 million tonnes of Australian wheat made it to starving India in the key famine years of 1943-1944."

Dear Bazz,

Let's not get diverted.

You claimed Peak Crude Oil was reached in 2005.

"Peak oil is the moment at which extraction of petroleum reaches a rate greater than that at any time in the past and starts to permanently decrease." Wikipedia

It hasn't permanently decreased from 2005 has it. Rather it has increased in a constant manner.

Are you prepared to concede this point or not?

SR/Bazz

Just to help your conversation move along....

Bazz is talking about Peak CRUDE oil as opposed to Peak Oil. By this he means that the extraction of conventional oil peaked even while unconventional oil (ie fracked oil) took up the slack.

I've never bothered to look into the accuracy of that claim. Could be true. Could be false. Almost certainly irrelevant.

mhaze, if it was false, you would make it true, just as you did about Australian wheat for the starving millions in Bengal 1943. IT NEVER HAPPENED! See you offered no evidence.
