Robert Newman's History of Oil ( 1 of 9 )

Back


Laugh and learn! The brilliant Robert Newman comes to grips with the wars and politics of the last hundred years - but rather than adhering to the history we were fed at school, places oil at the center stage of all the cause of all commotion.

Ah I remember Rob from the Mary whitehouse experience. Great to see he's doing something worthwhile, and still being hilariously funny too.

Well, in answer to your question, I fear for us humans, especially my sister's children. They may grow up in a world of utter chaos because unfettered use of oil and gas is like pyramid schemes, and given my employment background, I can't see the petro-energy supply lasting their lifetime (unless there is a significant change in its use). However, I still wonder why you suggest that the oil will last another 1800 years at today's consumption rate. It is far higher than any I've seen elsewhere

do the math. of coursecwe've been told we're almost out in twenty years, for the last 40. if you looked the Field just discovered in MexiCo alone. plus all the methane gas Naturally found around the world plus and plus what wc can Mable. this pals as way ahead act to mention rnss. is war fields, Alaska the as & a whole planet of UN Searched ocean billon, in me than alone would be l,ooo times more than the oil were used. Soya 1,800 years

"New oil field in Mexico" from BBC, 2006: deep-water oil field discovered "believed to contain 10bn barrels of crude" Annual global consumption is a little over 30 billion barrels. So this new field won't last 1800 years. Not even close.

I think you are using fishy research and fishy logic and subscribing to a fishy idealogy because you are angry or something but it is quite obvious that you are way off with that 1800 year figure. On so many fucking levels too. Clown.

not angry. but we have more than enough . i would divulge my sources but thereisonly so much space 2 educate with here. you need mnths of r-education

you need months at MY SCHOOL for reducation: You get to sit down relax, then we applie lysergic acid to your eyeballs and play a nice game of chess. The only problem is I use a hammer on your fingers to asist in breaking down those idealogical concepts that so pervert your wisdom. So you can brush up on your chess or practice your Kung Fu but the one thing you shouldn't do is spread lies. You will be held accountable.
