oil, natural gas, and coal are drying up; above ground, human miscalculation and geopolitics are limiting the production and availability of specific energy supplies.\u00a0 With troubles mounting in both arenas, our energy prospects are only growing dimmer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s the good news about energy: thanks to rising oil prices and deteriorating economic conditions worldwide, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that global oil demand will not grow this year as much as once assumed, which may provide&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1008,1031],"tags":[50,3,15,9],"organicbytes":[],"countries":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Energy and Climate Crisis: Three Massive World Events That Will Change Your Life - Organic Consumers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/organicconsumers.org\/article_23350\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Energy and Climate Crisis: Three Massive World Events That Will Change Your Life - Organic Consumers\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Here&#039;s the good news about energy: thanks to rising oil prices and deteriorating economic conditions worldwide, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that global oil demand will not grow this year as much as once assumed, which may provide...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/organicconsumers.org\/article_23350\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Organic Consumers\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/organicconsumers\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2011-06-06T07:26:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"OCA\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@organicconsumer\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@organicconsumer\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"OCA\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/organicconsumers.org\/article_23350\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/organicconsumers.org\/article_23350\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"OCA\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/organicconsumers.org\/#\/schema\/person\/17936886bc35620784b0838870381700\"},\"headline\":\"Energy and Climate Crisis: Three Massive World Events That Will Change Your Life\",\"datePublished\":\"2011-06-06T07:26:37+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2011-06-06T07:26:37+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/organicconsumers.org\/article_23350\/\"},\"wordCount\":232,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/organicconsumers.org\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"Climate Crisis\",\"Environment &amp;
