Richard
Heinberg explores why The Great Burning — the combustion of oil, coal,
and natural gas — must come to an end during the next few decades. If
the twentieth century was all about increasing our burn rate year after
blazing year, the dominant trend of twenty-first century will be a
gradual flame-out.
This
video is the second in a four-part series by Richard Heinberg and Post
Carbon Institute. The themes covered in these videos are much more
thoroughly explored in Heinberg’s latest book, Afterburn: Society Beyond
Fossil Fuels.
