A testable prediction

Abstract

We have used up nearly half of the oil nature made for us; we will start to run out relatively soon. We could then choose to ignore the consequences for our planet's climate and switch to heavy oil, shale oil, methane hydrate and coal to provide power for our world. But, given the prodigious rate at which we burn up the stuff, we will in any case start to run out of all fossil fuels by the end of this century.
