Abstract

The paper looks at
the issue of realization of global climate change, deglaciation of the Arctic
Ocean and frequent hurricanes, and use of alternative fuels vs. petroleum.
Current statements of scientists and how they are viewed by the public are
discussed. Future of oil is debated under the light of current global climate
change. 

Keywords

Global climate change, greenhouse gases, peak oil, deglaciation, sea level rise, future of oil
