I think we're pretty much on the same page here...

I've looked over Martenson's stuff too, and he seems to have the story straight. But the question that needs to be asked next, is what do you do with the knowledge after you have it? It looks to me like Martenson wants to position himself with those who wish to maintain their wealth or better yet, to profit from the approaching disaster. I suppose you could call those people the Oligarchs, at least that's the term that the South Americans are using now.

I'm much more interested in allying myself with community-oriented sustainability thinkers. I think Richard Heinberg speaks with clarity and truth from that point of view.
