Will 2006 be the year all hell breaks loose?
January 24th, 2006
Probably not, but if you beleive what Jim Kunstler predicts for 2006 it won’t be too far away.
He is the author of The Long Emergency, and has been warning all who will listen that the “western” world is about to hit some particularly hard times. This largely revolves around the declining availability of fossil fuels, which not only fuels your car, but pretty much the entire global economy.
The link to Jim’s post above is long, and written with statistics largely derived from the USA, but the implications are global. I for one don’t rank Jim Kunstler as a pessimist, but rather as a sorely needed realist.
