Now factor this in: oil production could peak by 2020
October 8, 2009
There's much talk of sustainability as ABTA holds its Travel Convention, and the big piece of news on that front is the next stage of Forum for the Future's Tourism 2023 project.
The sustainability charity has unveiled four possible futures for the travel industry should it fail to take action. There's also a 60-odd-page report to digest (pdf, 7MB).
So while you're mulling over its projections add this to the mix: global oil production could peak in the next 10 years, according to the UK Energy Research centre.
Ach, plenty of time...
