The following graphic, from a study by one Colin Campbell, shows world oil production will peak in 1996 (also shown are actual data demonstrating what we all know -- world oil production did not peak in 1996):
The chart is small but obviously, oil production did not peak in 1996. Furthermore, Campbell published either a book or an article predicting near term peak oil production in 1986,1989,1991,1997,1998 and of course now 2007. I suppose he could be right this time, but I wouldn't want to bet on it.
