Kunstler is the worst thing that has happened to Peak Oil, IMO. His Chicken Little ranting about Y2K exactly mirrors his ranting about the end of cheap oil, undermining the whole thrust of the peak oil thesis. He's an easy target, an attention-seeking blowhard who overuses hyperbole to the detriment of everyone.

The worst thing? Well... He made it to the mainstream media. He is not an asshole. That is good enough, though I admit that someone else would have be better.

BTW: Why is Al Gore so concerned with Climate Change but not so much with Peak Oil? He is aware.
