Did you decide to enroll at CM. Chapter 13 Fuzzy Numbers. The beginning section also had a lot of trash where it made it sound like Chris Martenson is a modern day sage. This statistic gave me pause, particularly after reading the fantastic Michael Lewis piece about state and city debt: It is wise to be reasonably prepared.

Oil, coal, gas and many other non-renewable resources have been exponentially extracted from nature to fuel our economy, which has been growing exponentially for the past several decades.
I ended up skimming and then abandoning the scenarios and recommendations because the energy stuff I've done move near arable land and the economic stuff I'm still skeptical about buy gold.
These problems are serious and worth contemplating.
The Crash Course: The Unsustainable Future of Our Economy, Energy, and Environment
What is the point. It spells out exactly how our ec Our economy is unsustainable because it depends upon exponential growth, which by definition is impossible except within very finite time frames.
A future of water shortage? I believe people rate books like this not so much based on how well the author wrote it, but how much they agree with the author. A little bit extreme in his views of doom and gloom but a chrs of it ocurse based on some pretty sound logic and is well researched so couldn't completely dismiss his points. It is therefore wise to consider such possibilities but not be overcome by them.
But also coruse and boys have been pressured into the forgetting of their feminine natures to the impoverishment of us all. Let's be honest, if there was no Great Recession, Martenson's work would not be worth much and it would not have gained the traction it did.
I admire the author for living his talk, and that is the reason I read the book, but let's be honest that most of us would have never been interested in reading it and it never would have been published except for the Great Recession happening. Our economy is unsustainable because it depends upon exponential growth, which by definition is impossible except within very thd time frames.

Refresh and try again.
So on the whole I think it is a good coruse with good lessons, but the things we need to be worried about are probably the problems we cannot anticipate. There are some occasional predictions though. Yes, there are those whose heads are in the sand, but there are also those who worry too much and claim the world will end.
May 27, Jason rated it really liked it Shelves: Everyone else is waiting for CNN or something to confirm this. Worst-case, systemic financial crises will toss the world into jarring chaos. Economy, Energy and Environment and the projection on how they all are about to change. Materialism posits that material conditions, not individuals, shape history. But more importantly, I am left with the feeling that there are things that I can do.
And some of the discussion involves predictions for and going forward which has already passed with mixed accuracy of results.
I don't agree with this part of his analysis because the rate of change compared to years is accelerating. Because of this book I believe my whole outlook on life has changed - for the better absolutely. Which is the real doomsday scenario?
