Peak Oil - Doomer or Sheeple?

(left-click image to enlarge)

Both these articles are in the Sun Star Feb 15th.

We are running out of oil ... the question is "when does it become a serious issue?"

Have you seen to second Mad Max movie "Road Warrior"
The Peak Oil article indicates oil will will probably be $200-$300 a barrel within 4 years (your next car purchase better be the MOST fuel efficient hybrid or electric) and this will lead to urban violence which will lead to ecological degradation and financial chaos ... the apocalypse is fast approaching! 

The Doomers think this will happen in the next few years and they want to be ready. They will bunker down and hide with their years supplies. I wonder how they will handle the greenhouse gases impending disaster.

The Sheeple see the shortage coming  but understand we will roll with it (see the book "The Upside of Down") and methodically move to alternate sources of fuel.

I wonder how both look at the greenhouse gases impending catastrophe?

In My opinion, we need more concrete actions NOW and not wait for things to logically happen (or go hide and wait it out). McGuinty is moving in this direction ... why isn't Harper?
