Not to be sloppy and obsequious, but if anything I thought my post was an addendum to your earlier work on fear.  I toyed with the alternate title "Fear and Environmentalism:  Open mike night!" or maybe "Fear and Environmentalism: Amateur hour!"

I make no apologies for beating you to the Post button, however.

But the PO world is largely beyond help now in terms of framing the issue - collapse is the dominant meme, not a transition to a better world.

That combined with the fact that no one has a clear view of when the peak will actually occur means the issue won't be taken entirely seriously until we're well past the peak - and PO doomers will still be ignored (much to their annyoance) when that time comes...

I do agree with Ibon's prediction that there will be a period of increasing the two tiered society in less adaptable countries though - hopefully more politicians will foloow the Swedish and German lead.
