		<description><![CDATA[In a recent post (here), I discussed the unfortunate practice by Peak Oil dissenters of cherry-picking facts to suit their skewed perspectives on the reality of oil production, conveniently neglecting to provide readers with the relevant background information needed to properly understand the issue at hand. An equally discouraging exercise is their use of vague, [...]]]></description>

As noted in this article (http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/jan/18/shell-shareholders-fury-tar-sands):
