Just today (Dec. 9, 2023) I saw an article from USA Today — “Climate change is pushing Earth toward these 5 disastrous scenarios, report says.” That’s indicative of what I see concerning calamitous situations that could affect us all. It’s mostly concerning tipping points, methane leakage, and how disastrous COP28 is. There is no doubt climate change is bad and not enough is being done about it.

There is, however, something creeping up on humanity that is more immediate and, initially, more devastating than climate change. It is integral to the problem of climate change. No one talks about it, and I think that is by design. It is the end of oil.

The top seven countries for oil reserves in barrels with percentage of world supply (2016):

1. Venezuela; 299,953,000,000; 18.2%

2. Saudi Arabia; 266,578,000,000; 16.2%

3. Canada; 170,863,000,000; 10.4%

4. Iran; 157,530,000,000; 9.5%

5. Iraq; 143,069,000,000; 8.7%

6. Kuwait; 101,500,000,000; 6.1%

7. United Arab Emirates; 97,800,000,000; 5.9%
