POLL - concerning the UNs lack of attention or actions taken with regards to Peak-oil and beyond – give short answers

a) In which year will Peak-oil pop-up on UNs radar – and why? (as an multilateral issue- being discussed hard)

b) In which year will gasoline be banned by UN as a fuel used for private automobiles? (for all countries involved, and I know.. the US will not comply..)

c) What would the single most reason be when these issues will surface? only one issue allowed (to keep it easy)

Mostly for fun - although the issues in question are serious enough …

a)2009 as I think it will start to become blatantly obvious unless of course it is obfuscated by above gorud factors.

b)2022, except inner party use.

c)I'd say because oil is finite.

a) When the delegates decide to stop haggling over the 'oil for food' fiasco.

b) As soon as all the delegates, staffers, aides, secretaries, maintenence men, porters and janitors at the UN and the Sabrett cart owner in front of the building aquire diesel autos.

c) When all the delegates get really, really, really bored...or, when the US decides that they should take up the issue.
