1 Peak Oil The Impact of Peak Fossil Fuels on Climate Change & IPCC Scenarios Emma Gardner Climate & Society Seminar

2 Unanswered Questions Emma Gardner What role does popular culture play in communicating climate change and resource scarcity? Do disaster movies and post-apocalyptic films encourage people to take positive action? Should the IPCC place more emphasis on peak oil, gas and coal in its reports? 2
