Peakniks and Doomers  

Dave at Sydney Peak Oil seems to have been busy updating the world's encyclopedia (Wikipedia) with some peak oil vocabulary - peaknik and doomer.

LJ at Energy Bulletin notes:

Doomer is apparently being considered for deletion, follow the link to have a say.

As someone who has been called a doomer more than once, I don't believe a return to subsistence level conditions is inevitable, wonder what timescale the author means by the end of the cheap oil era, and doubt whether many doomers are involved in promoting public awareness.
