Doomsday
" The Third Curve "-a book by Mansoor Khan
It has not yet sunk
An honest appraisal of the Global Oil Situation- predicting the doomsday scenario backed by facts and figures ,unlike the Nostradamus predictions- a few centuries ago , which may or may not be accurate.
Each and every concerned human being in the world needs to read , sorry study this book. It takes time to even read it, as fact after fact unfolds before you, you feel the urge to go over it again and again, pinch yourself to ascertain whether what you had read is real or surreal .
It took me 24 days to read the 200 odd pages back to back . Normally I finish that many in a day . Not this.
It directly does not concern any of us today . But yes our grandchildren will start facing the crunch and before long ,we may have to go back to the days , when there was no OIL No plastic , no bitumen , no pharma products , no gas and No No many other things- directly dependent on Oil.
Your grandchildren in their prime may very well see the petrol prices touching 100 $ per litre and - to make it short., their grandchildren may perhaps even be deprived the use of a Car
What took more than a quarter billion years for nature to produce, we are going to exhaust in less than 150 years.
The Bell Curve is already on the descending and will reach its nadir in no time .
When all the mountains are flattened, there won't be any Coal too, available for our needs
We can't do anything about it except rue the fact that we are all cumulatively responsible for it
Oh yes we sure did modernize at an alarming speed in the last one century-. Invented and discovered , performed impossible task, grew exponentially and with that same mesmerizing speed- we are going downhill at battle speed .
Our own greed for progress and more progress ,profits and more profits- made us create a maze of fabricated lies . We fudged growth , to show how well we understood the situation.We manufactured figures by finding new accounting paradigms , to convince ourselves that this is the only way to progress.
I salute Mansoor Khan for painstakingly gathering all facts and figures and putting them together for simple people like me to decipher the painful truth.
Mansoor Khan , never knew that he was such a multi-faceted personality. An I I T -Bombay , alumni , who went on to do his Masters at Cornell & M I T - U S A and who also has incidentally produced and directed 2 commercially successful movies- 1] Qayamat se Qayamat Tak and 2] Jo Jeeta Wohi Siknadar.
Kudos Mansoor Khan- take a bow
