 Michael Lynch • The Coming Global Energy Crisis
The scientific mind is not forever closed: it is merely intolerant of wasting time on the proposal of attention-seeking amateurs who are too lazy to master the simplest fundamentals of a science.
But this precisely conforms to the argument in Lynch (1996), namely that this method almost always produces a near-term peak, no matter when or where it is applied, and thus constantly needs to be revised upwards.
And his having to move the depletion midpoint out an average of 4 years for the countries which haven't peaked supports the argument (#4 from Lynch 1996 above) that this method always requires correction, and that the peak constantly needs to be revised to a higher, later level.
