Forget "Peak Oil", we're nearing "Peak Humans"

I disagree. Peak oil refers to production values, and oil production will reach a maximum soon if it hasn’t already, assuming we only count the important C+C (crude plus condensate) products.

The Hubbert bell curve may not be a perfect representation of reality. As governments and companies have poured huge amounts of money (and taken on debt) to maintain or grow production, this may have the effect of skewing the curve forward, which will result in a steeper than expected decline after peak oil is reached. The production of high quality petroleum products has essentially been on a plateau for 10-15 years.

I stand by my original post. The fact that peak humans appears to be happening indicates that we are also close to peak oil production.
