In the picture it looks like a poor place that needs repairing. It also looks like the weather affected it because the ceilings are off, and there is water floods on the floor. According to the description on the picture the place was flooded and they got their feet wet. I think this picture has to do with climate change and how cities are being affected by it.

Possible Solution

The eighth chapter in Peak Everything by Richard Heinberg talks about climate change and peak oil being correlated. The chapter is mostly how the two activist groups should find a solution to the problem together. The collaboration of both groups in the problem is important in Heinberg's point of view. According to Peak Everything, " both groups could work together more explicitly to promote proactive policy-driven reductions in fossil fuel consumption" (Heinberg, 157). This quotation means that because both activist groups seem to have a correlated problem they should work together to find a solution to the problem. I think it will be better if both groups work together to find the solution because they will have reinforcement of ideas and they can work faster to save the world from having more climate change, and faster rate of depletion of oil. In my current essay The future world I argue that in the future the world's societies will face problems in farming, human famines, and family. Heinberg's ideas here are relevant to my discussion because everyone needs to find solutions to solve the problems that are going to happen in the future, and everyone needs to work together.

A life without fossil fuels.

I personally believe that everyday life in the future without fossil fuels would be like not living in the world. The reason being that the world's new generation is not capable of taking care of themselves like our ancestors. I believe that when fossil fuels deplete the world would regress back in time, and probably we would need to use more human power than now. There will probably be no machines or if there are there will be a limited amount. That would be due because oil will be scarce and expensive. I also think that we wil become communal, and have communal gardens to plant food for the whole community. There will be no grocery stores where consumers can buy food for the family.Maybe some civilians would move to the country side where there is going to be the most food because the soil is made for planting and raising animals. There is a great chance that a lot of citizens will move back to farms and live in big families. Our lives will be better in a sense of family but worse in sense of an industrialist generation. Whatever the result of living with no fossil fuels is we need to be prepared as a whole.

Peak Everything Introduction Words. (5)

1. Peak oil is the decline of oil in earth. Peak refers to the stage where there was the most oil. Once the oil pumped out of the ground and reaches its peak it will lead to the extinction of oil. For example, in places where there were discoveries of oil people worked and pumped oil everyday. Now there is no one in those places because there is no oil left in the ground.

2.Leisure time means the availability of time for relaxing. For example, a Doctor works a long period of time throughout the day therefore he doesn’t have a lot of leisure time.

3.Geopolitical is the policy based on the relationship of geography and politics. Geography is different all over the world because all parts of the world have different natural resources and needs. Politics bases on the geography to make the policy that would be applied to that specific section.

4.Geologists are individuals who study the history, chemical, and biological changes that occur or have occurred in earth. For example, Geologists may study global warming because of the changes that the earth is undergoing in.

5.Forager means the action of seeking for food. For example, “Seeking” for food was an action done by hunters meaning that they foraged for food, in different places in order to survive.
