Hello,

Der Spiegel ran an article quoting the NYT, but mentioned that the NYT had drawn its information from a study by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC).

Here is the link.

They also quoted Yergin at the end!

That being said, Spiegel has been pretty good and comes out regularly now with articles that would have been unimaginable just six months ago.

Ciao,

Why does everyone keep quoting Yergin, when he's been so wrong? What does this guy have to do to discredit himself?

Why do media report on Paris Hilton?

Why does the most moronic presidential candidates get the most air time?

It's all in the entertainment value, not in the newsworthiness of the content :)

Why do media report on Paris Hilton?

Because then each of us can delude himself (herself) into thinking we're smarter.

“This order [i.e. capitalism] is now bound to the technical and economic conditions of machine production which today determine the lives of all the individuals who are born into this mechanism, not only those directly concerned with the economic acquisition, with irresistible force. Perhaps it will so determine them until the last ton of fossilized coal is burnt.”
