"...which indicates that peak oil won't save us from global warming."

W/O oil coal doesn't get mined. If mined, it doesn't get shipped.

Collapse will decide how quickly AGW accelerates.

NAw, there is plenty of electric mining Eq. Getting the coal from the mine to the plants - that *MAY* need oil.

Which part of "coal to liquids" don't you understand ?

Does the phrase 'electric vehicle" mean anything to you ?

Why do people continually ignore existing, practical technology and come up with this "we need (crude) oil to mine coal, grow crops etc etc" ?

Talk about denial...
