   The problem with predicting Oil Shortages is the price dictates how much 
oil can be dragged kicking and screaming from the ground.  At the current 
price a whole lot of different schemes become available since $3/gal gas 
allows many more ways of extracting oil to be used.  I expect coal 
gasification, deeper oil wells, steam injection, and many more I haven;t 
heard about.  Once extracting oil from coal is added to the mix the amount 
of gas become virtually limitless.

   As far as global warming - IMO it's a red herring used to force tighter 
controls on our lives by various govt entities.  Now that we have a CAFE of 
35 by 2012 (or whatever) it limits the kinds of engines we can choose to 
buy.  In effect the gov't is deciding what kind of engines to design and 
manufacture.   I just hope the govt doesn't decide to control what kinds of 
used cars we drive.

   One more comment about Global Warming - 20,000 years ago Kansas was 
covered with glaciers, so the earth is warming.  Actually, the world is 
always changing, never static, and I prefer G warming to G cooling.  ;-) 
Anyway, the argument is not whether the earth is warming but what is the 
cause. IMHO.  I believe it the sun's cycles of increased output - especially 
since Mars was warmed also. The CO craziness is not supported by the facts 
either.  The charts showing increased CO levels show the rise in levels 
during the 1st half of the 20th century - not the 2nd half as would be 
expected if mans recent automotive and.manufacturing excesses were the 
cause.  The 1st half of the 20th C was dominated by coal burning home heat 
which has mostly been changed to electric and Nat Gas.  I'm no expert but I 
believe coal produces more CO that electric generation and use or natural 
gas.

   Or, I could say, "Ditto, Dr. Steve!  It's all horses**t"  ;-)
