Those of us who have been saying that we need to decrease our reliance on fossil fuels because we're destroying the environment can most certainly say "told you so"...

... but the folks who were preaching that peak oil had already arrived and that peak natural gas passed a decade earlier... can't say they told us so without looking ridiculous.

As with all malthusians, they can continue to say "we'll be right any second now - just watch", but they can't claim to have been right.
