Peak Oil is a fact if not now then soon. However, this will also mean peak of global warming, sooner or later.

Only if burning oil is the primary cause of global warming. Since the current global warming trend started back around 1800 to 1850 (depending on which authority you pay attention to), this seems rather unlikely.

This is one of the reasons why believing that humans are the cause of global warming is not only foolish, it's dangerous. Because it gives people the notion that we could *stop* global warming if we tried hard enough. If most of the global warming trend is natural, not man-made-- which seems likely-- then we can't possibly stop it by curbing pollution.
