MoJo Mix: 3 August 2009
I can't decide whether the ongoing Birther resurgance is a) the usual wingnuts doing their usual wingnut thing, or b) a brilliant GOP tactical ploy to divert attention from health care reform. You? While you mull it over, 3 more questions for your Monday mix:
1) Will health care reform actually happen?
2) Carbon footprint, sure. But what's your water footprint?
3) Why is HBO's 40-year-old co-creator of Hung claiming there are no talented and attractive actresses over 35?

Peak oil said to be arriving
Peak oil said to be arriving ten years early,

". . . the oil on which modern civilisation depends is running out far faster than previously predicted and that global production is likely to peak in about 10 years – at least a decade earlier than most governments had estimated.
But the first detailed assessment of more than 800 oil fields in the world, covering three quarters of global reserves, has found that most of the biggest fields have already peaked and that the rate of decline in oil production is now running at nearly twice the pace as calculated just two years ago. On top of this, there is a problem of chronic under-investment by oil-producing countries, a feature that is set to result in an "oil crunch" within the next five years which will jeopardise any hope of a recovery from the present global economic recession, he said."
