Dutch report warns of oil crisis in 2010
Wednesday 30 July 2008
A sustained period of worldwide oil scarcity will begin sooner than generally forecast and could spark off military conflicts in Africa, according to the Dutch Clingendael institute for international relations, reports Wednesday’s Volkskrant.
According to Clingendael, the oil shortage will begin to bite in 2010, five years earlier than predicted by the International Energy Agency.
The consequences are outlined in Clingendael’s report entitled Oil turbulence in the next decade.

This report reflects my message to the Government of Canada in 1980, outlining the reasons why I believed we would reach the peak of conventional oil production at some point in the 2012 to 2015 time frame.
Of course, that message was ignored. As was a further the one I posted in 1998 and replaced with my "Open Letter" to the Prime Minister Of Canada on July 9, 2002 as found at:

Thank you.
To a safer, saner and more caring world.
To Duty.
