The Peak: Oil, Water & Climate - Presented by the San Francisco Commonwealth Club
This great green event is over now!
Chris Martenson puts together the macro-trends that will shape our finances and our relationships to our natural and social environments in the years to come.
A former employee of the International Energy Agency told the Guardian newspaper recently that figures about worldwide oil supplies are exaggerated. That supported what peak oil adherents such as Martenson have been saying for years. In addition to oil, he discusses how the intertwining effects of the economy and environment will coalesce to shape a future radically different from the past. A scientist and former executive for a Fortune 300 company, Martenson puts together the macro-trends that will shape our finances and our relationships to our natural and social environments in the years to come.
Chris Martenson is the Post Carbon Institute Fellow for Economy & Preparedness Economics and is the creator of The Crash Course, a 20-chapter online video course that educates viewers on our broken economic system, the crisis of population demographics, and Peak Oil. Since its launch in 2008, The Crash Course has been viewed over 200,000 times online and has sold over 20,000 DVD copies. Prior to spending four years educating himself and developing the course and other materials to help individuals understand and take action, Chris was a Vice President at a Fortune 300 Company and spent over ten years in corporate finance and strategic consulting. He has a PhD in pathology from Duke University and an MBA from Cornell University.
