Peak Oil vs. Global Warming

Why is it that peak oil gets less attention than global climate change? Energy Bulletin posted a short but interesting piece examining the disparity.



Why is peak oil politically incorrect?





As far as I'm concerned they are, as the article says, similar issues. One of the consequences of our over-consumption is climate change. If climate change and ecological destruction concerns you, why not shift focus to the cause of the problem, over-consumption of energy, and it's poster-child, peak oil?
