College Course outline for a peak oil class

From the Oil Drum, one of the posters there has been tasked with creating a course for non-science majors. It is an introduction to petroleum scarcity and peak oil.

It might be useful for those of you who wish to dodge the "chicken little" bullet when trying to inform friends of upcoming "problems." It is a gentle introduction without focus on the harsher negative consequences. It uses known-to-be incorrect peak oil numbers for its forecasts, but it is a start. Perhaps printing this material out and asking a friend what they think about it is a way to break through the denial wall.
