If BIG OIL fails, do we all go down with it??

- The International Energy Agency just released a new paper analysing how oil and gas will dwindle in the next three decades to a small fraction of their current size, basically making non-combustible products. But that means many fossil fuel producers will fall by the wayside. If they do, will they take us down with them?

COP has evolved from incompetent to corrupt, as expected by us cynics.
I've known that since i first heard about it, more than 40 years ago. It was called different but the result is the same.
Bingo! It's an annual farce of greenwashing and hypocrisy...
The co2 maffia is corrupt as hell you mean. There is no co2 problem at all.
Secrecy is the best defense of incompetence and incompetence is the best protection of corruption.
It’s nice being able to think “man I’m either a genius or a psychic” just by assuming/expecting the worst behavior out of humans 😂
We need to normalize a simple lifestyle and stop normalizing debt. Huge SUVs, huge houses and private universities are simply not necessary. I live within my budget and I sleep better at night knowing that if I lose my job tomorrow, ' be fine. I didn't buy the biggest house. I bought the one I could comfortably repay
Yeah can being frugal be sexy please? recently mentioned that I'm frugal to a young woman and she gave me the weirdest look... Being financially responsible is looked down on
I think people should also seriously look into investing of some kind. Something that brings money back to your pocket, real estate, stocks, whatever can bring back value to their bank account rather than draining it. Obviously investing has its risks but so does just having money in depreciating assets or straight up liabilities.
Big house suv. Bruh you got people driving Honda civics, living in a 1 bedroom apartment and not a luxury one at that living paycheck to paycheck.
The median rent is 2000. A lot of financial professionals especially the one I work with Samuel Peter Descovich agree that one should not spend more than 30% of their gross income on rent. That means you need to make a minimum of about $80,000. Interesting considering the median income is $54,000.

You are absolutely correct and it is definitely achievable and also essential but looking at the investment plans of the entire Energy Sector, Oil, Gas, Coal included the trajectory of climate change is now heading for 3c and it is looking more and more likely the transition will happen too little and too late. I wish I was wrong but the real reason I feel this is the underlying greed and selfishness we see at work in every sector of society, the immense challenge at hand is not just about CO2, Fossil Fuel and Climate Change its about a dysfunctional human family.
The world's (psychopathic) billionaire oligarchs don't believe it's possible either. That's why they are working hard on a financial crash, centralized financial control, and global totalitarian governance with them as rulers (of course; they "know best") and us as serfs. CBDC, Digital IDs, vaccine passports, advanced AI ... it's all part of the plan.
'trajectory of climate change is now heading for 3c.' That's a very interesting philosophical statement. To what 'climate change', specifically, are you referring? Firstly, climates across the world are many and varied, and secondly, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO, but prior to 1950, the IMO), has never officially acknowledged a change of climate anywhere in the world. Climates are a function of: Latitude, Elevation, Proximity to large bodies of water, Ocean Currents, Topographical Features, Vegetation, and Prevailing and Seasonal Winds. Please explain how the combustion of fossil (hydrocarbon) fuels overrides all of the aforementioned.
Finally, in the vicinity of the 10 busiest airports in the world by aircarft movements, the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels by air, and the associated road traffic, has not resulted in any change of climate. The same can be said if the 50 most populated cities in world, with their associated significant air and road traffic (copious quantities of hydrocarbon being combusted), hasn't brought forth any change of climate in those locations either.
In conclusion, TELL ME WHERE the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels results in the "dreaded climate change"??

I agree that it is a 'cop out' for those who say that usage of coal, oil and gas is demand driven. But it is an understandable position, when viewed though the lens of global politics. The country that becomes the 'first mover' in reducing supply of coal, oil and gas will ultimately be trashing their own economy and other nations would simply pick up the slack and become richer at the same time. This is not a 'short term' proposition, it's a 'medium to long term' problem.
The world's economic, political, and communication systems are fundamentally incapable of dealing with the problem.
The fallout from climate change, among other things, will ensure that these systems are radically transformed over the next hundred years.
Today's elites, and activists, face the question, what kind of changes do they want to see?

Hi Dave, a good rant is supporting mental health when facing all this bull-„beeeep“. So carry on please, it helps all of us. 😄
limiting flying would be a good start, nobody NEEDS to fly, we survived a very long time before planes. pretty hard to capture carbon from aircraft but the whole carbon capture thing sounds pretty pie in the sky to me. All this music streaming etc instead of people downloading stuff is energy intensive, as is mining crypto, streaming 4k videos of pointless things that don't need to be in 4k or people are watching on a 5 inch screen.. all the survellence / cctv, phone masts etc think of the energy that uses, People can do little things to be greener, by just thinking, wearing an extra layer, car sharing, sourcing stuff locally, growing stuff, buying stuff that isn't in plastic. buying stuff not grown with pesticides, hormones, etc. If we don;t buy it, they can't sell it.
"nobody needs to fly"
That's bollocks.
Would be interesting to see more into how COP is structured, how are host countries selected and sponsors and presidents selected. How do lobbyists weasle in to the event. I think the UN has some work to do to tidy this up so we don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
Hehehe I love the IEA. They always use hard science and documented facts to make a reasonable statement about the energy industry and governmental policy. Great stuff as usual.
And yes, it is very annoying when people try to suggest the oil and gas industry can't cut down when there is ample evidence that it is necessary to do so. Unfortunately the recent war with Ukraine and Russia has left many people feeling the energy insecurity, but everyone tends to ignore the fact that longterm planning by governments can avoid such issues. If they're really concerned, nuclear is the best way to provide stable baseline power
A technical argument for nuclear might have stood up to scrutiny 20 or 30 years ago (or might not). But at this point in time, solar and wind and battery storage would take less than half the time and cost a small fraction of the price to achieve the same energy generation.
Wind and especially solar also have the advantage of decentralization - or at least the technical feasibility of it. This is a huge difference that is almost as important as the huge cost difference.
In any event, time is of the essence. Solar, wind and battery storage must be built out as quickly as we - the population of the earth - can possibly build it.
@@davidmenasco5743 What about countries that do not have offshore wind or solar resources? Like Scandinavia or central Europe, or most of central and northern Asia? So should we just suck the cock up for the team and be little bitches for those who do have those resources? Yeah, f**k no.

Thanks for the detailed analysis. Very informative
Yup CCS is at best greewashing, there simply no way to meet the amount needed to be reclaimed even to match industrial output per year.
Reducing our energy needs require standardization of many things: standard cell phone recharge ports, standard bottle/ jar tops so we can reuse jars with any top, rapid phase-out of planned obsolescence (a toaster should last 20 years, not 2 years,) replacable, plug-in parts so home repair on appliances and equipment can be done.

I noticed that those sheiks are pooping in golden toilets, i guess the paying part will be done by someone else.
A consequence of capital -- money above all.
And???
I find that the only way I'm forced to make a change is that it hits my pocket book. I will find more efficient ways if the cost of my current life style gets too expensive. I drive a hybrid car and my house is cheap to heat but in order to move beyond that I have to be able to justify any new technology by cost savings and if fossil fuels got too expensive then I would make a change. I understand that climate change is taking place but most of us don't think that it's my responsibility and we continue on the same path until we are forced to do something about it. Politicians come and go and when one makes a change for good the next guy cancels the plan and we are back to where we started from.
I recommend occasionally just making a small move in the "right direction" even if there is no cost benefit to yourself. We can't wait for someone else to make the first move. People who can afford an expensive EV for example should go ahead and buy one. Those vehicles will become cheaper second hand options for others in 4 or 5 years time. Nobody said the transition phase would be easy.

If we step by step by step...we can turn economies into high insulation everywhere, large scale renewables in all regions, all substations expanded with grid batteries, roof top solar PV across housjng stocks, electric heated thermal mass floors, back and front yard gardens...throughout our cities. We can install all of these rapidly.

@joemccarthy7120 We renovated this mobile home for the self interested reason so we did not freeze to death. The neighbours told us that our unit was freezing at the first hint of winter. So we turned a natural gas heated energy hog to electric heated. Over 5 hours the internal temperature only declined by 3C when -2C outside. No government was involved. I just scouted after work every day for free materials in the region
Meanwhile, here in the USA gasoline is cheaper today than any time in the last 3-4 years and the price continues to drop.
Because Biden has drained our Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
It's called 'Glut and Choke'; Cartels, with the active support of non-cartel oil companies, increase supply so that the price drops. This reduces investment in renewables and EV's, thereby killing off the competition. Then apply the 'choke' so that prices and profits go through the roof. Even better if you can blame it on someone, like Putin's invasion of Ukraine, when in reality most of the 'cost of living crisis' was made up of 'greedflation' and profiteering. The oil industry has been applying 'Glut and Choke' for decades if not centuries, witness the 'Robber Barons' in the USA. The are laughing at us for being suckered time and time again.
Lovely stuff as always, see you next week!

Thank you for your courage and truthfulness.
I blimmin' love your videos!
The best info and the funniest, most accurate mimicry!
I’m grateful to view your weekly dose of reality. 🙏
Big money will try to control everything.
Thanks for mentioning pension funds and banks. Asking your pension fund provider to move your own fund out of anything fossil fuel related is easy enough for those of us lucky enough to have one. It won't happen overnight, but asking is the first step to getting an ethical pension.
Dave, have you listened to Simon Michaux? He says, quote; 'Both current mining production (2019) and current stated global mineral reserves (2022) cannot provide sufficient metal to manufacture only one generation of renewable technology units (EV’s, H-cells, batteries, wind turbines and solar panels).'
I believe he is right. We're putting the cart before the horse IMO.
Green energy is well behind and needs a total rework of energy grid to be used. It isnt even reliable. Fossil fuels are bad so we only left 2 thing left fussion energy and nuclear energy. First one still isnt near anywhere viable and second one costs way too much money and time to built. I think we stuck we either need to transition to small molten salt reactors or fast sodium reactors ,find viable fusion energy or find a way to properly use and distribute green energy because with our limited tech today transition in a few years almost impossible. Maybe ai can fasten the researches once we reach agi but again we do not have it either and it also gonna increase energy need. I think we stuck and all we can do try to upgrade our energy grid and put more green energy.
Do keep up.
Nuclear is the future. Clean, safe,always on. And carbon-free.
China just put into operation the world's first 4th gen nuclear power plant.
The Democrats WANT scarcity and high prices, so they hate nuclear.
When you say ‘big oil”, you do realize that they are bit players compared to the state-owned entities, right? So when you get the Saudis, Russians and Venezuelans to all agree to stop producing oil, and China, Russia, Indian and Indonesia to stop buying it, you’ll have something. Without that, you’re just pissing into the wind.
Love how the videos are taking a heavy green turn. keep it up!!!
Thanks Dave for all that you do and continuing the campaign despite the frustrations with having to tolerate the absolute monolith of shite the govt spew out whilst refusing to act.
The coordinated efforts to reset our entire civilization in order to prevent a “climate crisis” are an obvious and troubling example of elites grasping for more control, and less competition. And their agenda is so fatally flawed - renewables cannot power the global economy, and “owning nothing” does not make people happy, it destroys their character - that it is fair to wonder what truly motivates them? Satanic greed? Malevolent reptilian aliens gaining the upper hand in earth’s cosmic battlefield?
Thanks for your support Mathew. Much appreciated!
Great video, Dave, keep up the excellent work!

If it goes down before an actual alternative infrastructure to replace it has been built then yes. Certain governments and influentials seem determined to crush them before they've bothered to replace the energy generation. The only way we do this is by mass building nuclear, fast rather than spending 2 decades on planning and approvals, as a stop gap while we figure out Power Sats.
There are not enough resources to carry out a mass building of nuclear reactors. They are very complicated engineering structures, you need people with experience in control. At most you could increase capacity by 10% a year, if you want the work supervised and managed by experienced people.
@@johnclements6614so 10-12 years and the problem is solved.

Go Dave go! You are saying what needs to be said and more power to you.
It is amazing I've gone from one of those idealistic end-of-history-progress-is-inevitable perpetual adolescents expecting a Star Trek type Utopia to a total doomer betting on global chaos being well developed and underway by 2030.
You're certainly not alone.

Change will never be easy. Fast change will always cause pain. But long term decline of fossil fuels will be just like any other industry that faded away.
Not exactly but it will have to be treated as an emergency
except that this has been the power of the human enterprise. It has enabled everything in our industrial lives. Faded away to be replaced by what?
You didn't pull your punches, but you make no room for cynical apathy either. Much appreciated 👍
Thanks for doing so much of my energy homework for me. I downloaded two of the IEA reports you cited. Keep up the noble work!
The most recent report from the scientists studying ice is very dire: thawing of the methane-laden permafrost fields appears already imminent. I do hope the IEA report has sufficiently taken that in (as far as the Tax Justice Podcast is concerned, the OECD parent Organisation is not exactly a beacon for global justice, definitely not when it comes to the tax havens where the same Oil Barons and Sheiks etc can funnel their most recent overshoot profits, She'll Oil & others)
th-cam.com/video/OxqxeifmazA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=t72pc_F38vgiYKpL
It is not just the permafrost, look the video that I shared above.
It's even worse ... because the thawing of the permafrost isn't "imminent" it's already happening.
Dr. John Clausen, Nobel prize winner in physics, says "there is no climate emergency.". Look it up.
@@scottslotterbeck3796 It's just possible that the thousands of other scientists who have evidence to the contrary are all wrong and Dr Clausen is right ... but that seems highly unlikely to me!
We the consumers are not guilt free, we as consumers should shift away from fossil fuels as quickly as we can afford to and in that way we show what industry succeed with our pocket books!
That presupposes that options are available and not manipulated to prevent them from becoming affordable and wide spread.

thank you, great info.
Almost all problems could be solved by making it financially worthwhile for people to start SHARING the jobs we would almost all AGREE we NEED people to do and working much less.......It would be the end of people always fighting against change because they are so scared of losing their jobs. They could just move over ( with provided retraining) to SHARING a job we NEED to have done, nobody would ever have to worry about unemployment.
You first, bub.
Around the world, people watch 1 billion hours of TH-cam videos every day. Watching TH-cam videos produces six grams of CO2 per hour, resulting in 6 billion grams of CO2 produced globally every day JUST HAVE A THINK
References and citations required
If true, that is 6000 tonnes per day, which is nothing, or less than 0.01% of global emissions (which this year is about 35 000 000 000 tonnes).
Thank you for the research you do to bring into the light of what is happening and who is likely responsible. Please continue doing what you do !
Thanks Dave, for telling it how it is 👍
As someone that's interested in utilizing more solar energy, I've quickly realized PART of the problem is also regulation. The regulations both at the utility and gov level turn basic DIY solar into a complete nightmare and discourage what could so easily be significant carbon reductions by the masses.
Agreed. If we were serious the Gov would have a "solar corps"🤗🇺🇲 that would install free solar to any home where it is practical and has efficacy 😊. This would be liking giving everyone free energy😊
It also builds resilience into our network. But things like this are fought by those wanting to make money on it, instead of helping everyone😢
Very soon almost all of our activity will be focused on climate effects. Insurance will not be profitable or predicable. Profit can't save US. Our current profit motives will fail in supplying what we need, when we need it. We must cooperate and build many routes for the items that are life dependent.
Those regulations are unfortunately ones recommended to the policy makers by the think tanks of the O&G industry, and are eagerly adopted since they (petrofascists) also “feather the nest” of the politicians who vote for the policies. The rapacious greed of the gas industry has never ceased, despite the recognition *by their own scientists over half a century ago* that this outcome was unavoidable if we continued to consume fossil fuels. And this refusal to curb their drive for profit has led to humans consuming far beyond the carrying capacity of the planet, on almost all levels. That rapacious greed has also led to them stifling innovation into any kind of alternative energy source, including making it impractical or expensive to utilize renewables at an individual household level via regulations. As much as I’m also pro-nuclear, that industry is also composed almost entirely of behemoth corporations who would rather have NPPs everywhere and also push restrictive policies like ridiculous feed in tariffs and other disincentives to renewable power sources.
I saw a video recently that recycling nuclear waste was invented in the '60s, but because of paranoia at the time, and fear based, profit driven corporate influence, our government decided to barrel it all up without much thought as to what would happen beyond 50 years. The upside is that there is a company trying to get the laws changed so it can be recycled, but like everything else it'll take an enormous amount of money. I'm not pro-nuclear, but I am pro-clean-it-up, so if we recycle the waste first while coming up with something safer, let's do it. @@sjsomething4936
Plenty electric companies decreasing net metering credits and adding connection charges to reduce the advantage of homeowner solar power generation. I think that Arizona Power was the first one to take this approach.
So many people tell us what the power structure SHOULD do, but I have yet to hear a suggested cure for selfishness and greed. Selfish, greedy men listen to you say what should be done and they laugh and call you an idealistic, naive, sucker whom they can lie to and make money off of. Do you have a solution to that problem?
12:52 ' ... 40 years ago...' I think we knew enough 100 years ago to recognise that car dependent, massive energy waste, modern city/life design was a high risk strategy. - 1) the atmosphere was a very significant green house provider warming us from -30 to 18 C (1850s), 2) that doubling the CO2 would significantly warm the planet ( 1895 ) and 3) that we were heating the planet from the hotest phase of our orbital climate cycle (1920s). ie Our national governments have been sitting on this problem for ~100 years.
So well said... so enjoyable to watch... and yet so scary!!
Politicians have spent trillions of dollars combating CO2 and they plan to spend a hundred times more - all because atmospheric CO2 went from about 3 parts per 10,000 to 4 parts per 10,000.
If by chance that minuscule amount of CO2 added to the atmosphere doesn’t make a difference, it won’t change the politician’s trajectory. At this point they must have absolute compliance. It’s no wonder all the agencies that support them in this endeavor are paid by them. The IPCC, NOAA, NASA, IEA, etc, all get their paychecks from the politicians. they are in perfect lockstep.
There is so much more to climate than just CO2. When this presenter talked about a single hot day, as if CO2 induced climate change had anything to do with it, I actually had to laugh.
"all because atmospheric CO2 went from about 3 parts per 10,000 to 4 parts per 10,000."
Still blubber blabbing the same bullshit
0.006grams of arsenic per 1000grams of human is a lethal does. So for an average human 0.6grams will kill you. That's such a tiny number (an even smaller ratio than the carbon increase you site!) that it should be safe to consume by your logic.
@@Tasmantor Comparing CO2 in the atmosphere to a poison a human might ingest is something a 12-year-old would think of. Are you 12 years old?
You’re basing your opinion on an intuition that a small percentage of carbon dioxide can’t have a significant effect. There is nothing wrong with countering one intuition with another. Look up how much heat is trapped by a litre of carbon dioxide and how much has been added to the atmosphere. That’s a lot of heat and heat runs the climate.@@CS-gg5hx

Love your sensibility and your commentary! We need more voices to combat this scary nonsense. Keep it up!
During the COVID epidemic countries (industry and citizens) accepted to different degrees a loss of human lives to keep their present way of living. There was total ignorance vs near total shutdowns. The same applies to global warming but on a much larger scale. While COVID killed millions, the climate catastrophe will kill billions and has the potential to disrupt the whole human existence. Sadly the energy industry is huge and the countries that profit most are notoriously immoral.
not really countries who profit - Norway and the Emirates aside - but rather amoral businessmen and their shareholders
Covid did not kill millions the medicine they rolled out for it did and is still doing.
@@steffen1405 There is no amoral businessmen there is unchecked businessmen. All capitalists will want to maximize profit, citizens want to live proper lives, politicians want power and government wants to keep everyone in check. You cant change this no matter what but you can balance things out with education , strict law applications and audits. So trying to find a moral businessmen is stupid and calling them amoral is useless
@@steffen1405Amoral businesses are enabled by their Capitalist governments that put profit over humanity. Capitalists will destroy the planet for a few extra dollars.
Yes, I was terrified of something that had a 99.9 % survival rate. Billions will not die from climate change, imagine how much better you would feel if you did not believe that climate change was going to cause humans to go extinct.
The point needs to be made that every country that doesn't jump on "the green bandwagon" will fall behind other countries that do. Demand for fossil fuels is falling and will continue to fall at an ever increasing rate: fossil fuel outputs will fall with demand, reducing economies of scale and pushing prices up.The transition is already well underway. He who hesitates is lost.
Where did you hear that demand for fossil fuels is decreasing? What do you think India and China are going to feed the new coal fired power stations with?
@@rjbiker66Solar and wind are the cheapest form of electricity generation ever. EV sales are accelerating. (Tesla model Y is the best selling car globally.) Geopolitical events and market manipulation cause massive spikes in gas and oil prices, holding us all to ransom. Cop 28 has agreed that we need to transition away from fossil fuels. The message could not be clearer and the countries who bury their heads in the sand will look like idiots in 10 years time. Agreed, we've yet to hit peak fossil fuel production, but that time will come, soon.
Thank you for an informative and emotive video. You may have missed this in the news but Scotlands only oil refinery in Grangemouth is closing and the reason given is a lack of demand for its products and dwindling North Sea oil production.

Hanson has just published a paper detailing the catastrophic effect the removal of sulphur from ship fuel in 2015 has had.
