We've effected this planet already, hopefully we can adapt to the changes that are coming, cause there is no stopping them now, the tipping point could be very close, climactically speaking.

Be thankful we've lived at the height of the petroleum interval, 'cause it's peaking. The petroleum production numbers are starting to flatten, the discovery peak has passed. Already major oil companies are restating their reserves and OPEC nations have been fudging their reserve numbers for at least a decade. Think the Iraq war was about oil? Maybe, but they so screwed up their development and production that the recovery on major Iraq oil fields may be as low as 20%. I've read they are actually pumping oil back into the reservoirs to maintain pressure! I'd post links if it wasn't bedtime.

Strap on your seat belts, the other side of the curve is going to be interesting.
