As we all know, I’m a sucker for a good documentary, even those that aren’t related to geology.
However, this time around the subject couldn’t be more relevant; falling prices, conflicts in the Middle East, debates about sustainability and the implications of fracking all mean that oil is the hot topic du jour.
In a three-part series, professor Iain Stewart explores the history of our global addiction and reliance on oil, and how it has altered economics, politics and our environment in a timespan little over that of a human lifetime.
