The petroleum geologist Colin Campbell (1931-2022), the father of the Peak Oil-movement, is dead. An obituary by Richard Heinberg can be read on Resilience.org: 
 
"Colin Campbell Remembrance", by Richard Heinberg, in November 16, 2022. 
 
Campbell was 91 years old when he died, after a long illness. I'm very indebted to him and thankful for his life and work. He advocated petroleum rationing, just as I do, so that the resource could be preserved for future generations. The world didn't follow his advice, unfortunately. One day we have to ration petroleum, oil depletion will force us to do that. But it is very late in the game. 
 
"He (Campbell) didn’t expect a miraculous transition away from fossil fuels toward alternative energy sources. Instead, he believed we would endure a painful but instructive return to a lower-energy way of life."
 
(Heinberg in the aforementioned article)
 
Ugo Bardi also wrote an obituary. It is on his blog, in a blogpost titled "Colin Campbell (1931-2022). A tribute to the father of the "Peak Oil" concept", 17.11.2022.
