Ms. Tverberg seems to exclusively write panicked clickable headlines about oil and energy, dating back several years, with none of the prophecies/projections coming close to fruition. Not a lot of strong data in the article for such an extreme claim.

Agreed, this is a garbage article.

  On the plus side it cites economic data to back up its thesis, on the down side, it cites it from the Book of Revelation.

    Sarcasm right? Kind of disturbing that the top thread here is dismissive without engagement with the arguments.

      > We know that Revelation 18:11-13 in the Bible provides a list of a number of commodities, including humans sold as slaves, for which prices dropped very low at the time of the collapse of ancient Babylon.

        For the curious: (11) The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore: (12) cargoes of gold, silver, precious stones and pearls; fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet cloth; every sort of citron wood, and articles of every kind made of ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron and marble; (13) cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings sold as slaves. [New International Version] The King James Version includes "souls": (11) And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: (12) The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, (13) And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

        What's the point? Your slaves would retain their value during precipitous collapse?

    That seemed to be a historical reference however, for whatever that’s worth.

It reads like a conspiracy theorist’s cork board. Each citation or fact may be valid but the connections are about as substantial as so much red yarn.

  Yeah. Its complete garbage reasoning, and filled with words to elicit fear. I flagged the article because it seems like marketing trash on the level of gold bug ads.
