Gas prices are rising, demand for oil is rising, and
yet oil production stopped rising over three years ago. Peak oil may be
here, and it's taking us unprepared. How long can this oil production level be maintained? When will the decline in oil supply begin? How will that impact already rising gasoline prices, oil prices, food prices and the struggling state of the world economy? The International Conference on Peak Oil and Climate Change: Paths to Sustainability explores the root cause of rising gas prices, global warming, biodiversity loss and other indicators of global unsustainability. With high powered, international speakers including Richard Heinberg, Dr. David Goodstein, Megan Quinn Bachman, Julian Darley, Stephanie Mills and Pat Murphy, the uncertainties of energy and climate will be illuminated in this first-of-its-kind international conference. The event begins with an in-depth scientifically-rigorous overview of the global issues of peak oil, climate change, environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and population growth and how these are impacting individuals, businesses, nations, the environment and the world. Participants then focus on the concepts of sustainability and the associated value systems and cultural visions. A spectrum of breakout seminar presentations led by professionals and experts help individuals, businesses, governments and communities move towards a vision of local cultures of sustainability. Join with a broad array of professionals, politicians, business leaders, and concerned citizens for this unique high-level international conference that explores the causes of global problems and proposes solutions to move humanity toward lasting paths of sustainability.
