Everything Is A Hoax?!

I'm really getting confused. I don't know what to believe any more.

First, everyone talks about global warming. Then, it's a hoax. Then, when you dig deeper, the hoax is supposedly a hoax made by "scientists" who receive pay checks from the oil industry. I think it's already too difficult to really find the truth. And to be honest, I don't care if it's about a topic I won't live long enough to see happen.

And then there is "Peak Oil". More or less the idea that we've already seen the highest point in oil production on this planet and that our oil resources are now drying out year by year.

Well, if you ask me, that's total bullshit. Why? Have you seen the oil prices lately?

When I went to business school in 2007, we learned about stocks, bonds, options and all that stuff. Back then I thought to myself: If I ever get into that kind of business, I'll buy oil options, because hey, the prices MUST go up because it's a scarce resource, right?

Well, fuck that. Luckily I never bought anything oil-related, otherwise I'd be piss poor by now. We obviously can't have oil shortages anytime soon because the price of oil is going lower and lower. I remember how I watched one peak oil documentary years ago and one guy working at a platform said "I think it's going to end in 2025". Well, that's 9 years from now and oil prices are dropping. So who do you think is talking bullshit here?
