The end of “black gold” is near. As demand for carbon energy decreases and investments in renewable energy sources go up oil companies are stuck with stranded assets. Should we be happy that we are finally losing our addiction to carbon energy, or will the bursting of this carbon bubble give rise to more financial and (geo)political instability than we can bear? he economic crisis that this might cause be worse than the one of 2007? Come and learn from climate scientist Jean-Francois Mercure and political scientist Thomas Eimer about the dangers and opportunities of the carbon bubble bursting.
