Comprehensive but barely worth commenting on since the same article, with convincing arguments for the time, have existed for the last 60 years at least. Here’s why (and I realize this is me commenting on it anyway):
Yes, there is a finite resource involved.
Yes, using it, whether we find more or not, makes the planet uninhabitable for the size of the human population due to it being uninhabitable for many existing species.
But is it peak gas/oil/whatever? No. It never is because currently uneconomical sources become economical. The article slightly addresses that by saying the last decade of fracking was an accounting gimmick that allowed unprofitable operations to work out okay. Uh yeh thats exactly whats going to happen with even more harder to extract and create gas.
