More on why peak oil already occurred

We have already seen that some believe that peak oil may have already occurred last year. Now some IEA officials stated unofficially that oil production forecasts are completely unrealistic.  As The Guardian noted :

This happened the day before the International Energy Agency released its own World Energy Outlook with already gloomy perspectives. For more please check out the TreeHugger article.
