The Long Emergency

In the late nineties, people were writing about the 'long boom' a predicted period of growth and prosperity. Now we have this: .
Normally I tend to write up this kind of thing at TheGreening, but it's pretty important to get this peak oil message out there ...

Our Cities, our jobs and our lifestyles are going to change dramatically."
I think we should also factor in what it means for world justice, peace and the environment. What does 'make poeverty history' look like in a world economy marked by steadily increasing oil demand in a falling supply curve? I can't find many ways to scenario that in a way that looks pretty! However, for the prettier scenarios do read some of the comments, they at least have pretty bits.
