Things are getting tight all around.

Global oil exports have peaked, and the world is now entering an unprecedented energy transition that taking the world economy by surprise.

How will declining oil exports impact individuals, businesses, communities and entire nations?

How do economy, energy, and environment relate to each other and foretell the challenges of tomorrow?

Join with a broad array of professionals, community leaders, politicians, and concerned citizens to explore the causes of these economic changes. Learn how the economy responds to climate change, biodiversity loss, population growth and other factors of global importance. Find out what can be done to prepare and build resilience for this uncertain future.

Come to “The International Conference on Peak Oil and Climate Change: Paths to Sustainability”. Featuring over 40 speakers, including high-powered, international presenters Richard Heinberg, Dr. David Goodstein, Megan Quinn Bachman, Julian Darley, Stephanie Mills and Pat Murphy, the uncertainties of economy, energy, and climate will be illuminated in this important and timely gathering.

The event begins on Friday evening, May 30 and continues through Sunday, June 1, 2008. The venue is the Fine Arts Center of Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Registration is now open and includes full access to the conference, as well as lunch on both Saturday and Sunday.

How long can this global oil supply 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?

To address shrinking fossil fuel supplies, increasing CO2 emissions, and rising global inequity we need to make immediate and drastic cuts to our energy use. Learn about viable curtailment strategies for food, housing, and transportation, why most “sustainable” and “green” techniques are inadequate, and how we can create cooperative low-energy communities to survive.

Pat Murphy is the Executive Director of Community Solutions in Yellow Springs, Ohio, co-writer and co-producer of the film, “The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil” (2006) and author of the forthcoming book “Plan C: Community Survival Strategies for Peak Oil and Climate Change.”

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.

Oil prices are also rising, and if they continue going up at this rate, will be $1,000 per barrel within 10 years.

What is causing gasoline, diesel, propane, fuel oil, petroleum and oil prices to rise so quickly?

The answer is that demand is increasing all over the world, everywhere, but at the same time, world oil supply is NOT increasing. In fact, world oil supply was “stuck” at under 85 million barrels per day for over three years.

We may be at peak oil. The economic impacts we have seen may just be the beginning.

Using his renown “Peak Oil in Five Slides”, Aaron Wissner explains what is going on, and how rising prices are related to stagnant oil supply.

We have not been discovering any new souces of oil for already a while, with the end of discoveries, the end of production is just around the corner.

There will be fundamental changes to our societies, we will no longer have the oil and gas to fuel our progress.
