Not Ranked
I have ranted about this before, but let me say two things again...a) Hubbert Peak for oil is less than 5 years away b) $10 a gallon gas by the end of the decade!!!
If you ever want to read about what will REALLY happen to Western civilization over the next 20-50 years, read a little book called 'Out of gas'! Much as all the eco-do-gooders will talk about how we can reverse or slow or stop global warming, or that driving a Prius will make one iota's worth of difference, it is all horses**t. There is NO way to convert the western economies to a non oil-based economy in the time we need to before we are REALLY in the middle of the upcoming oil crisis, and consequently "there WILL be blood" as the western economies struggle to deal with depleting oil supplies...my recommendation is to put your foot down on the gas pedal and enjoy it TODAY, 80% of the world's population will be dead before the end of this century, there is NO tomorrow, and we are living at the zenith of human civilization. Eat, drink, be merry...for tomorrow we die!
