No; could exacerbate it. Peak doesn't mean oil won't be used. It just means that's as much as we are ever gonna get in a year, and that we will never outproduce it. So CO2 is still produced. Then, there is what is left in the way of reserves. Light sweet crude, the cleanest, and most efficient to refine, peaked last year, I believe. May have been the year before; I'm just going off memory. What's left takes more energy to pump and refine, as it becomes heavier and more sour. There's a field off Saudi Arabia that is so heavy, sour (sulfur) and full of vanadium that nobody can even refine it. After that, there are the proposed new sources of energy. Coal is a biggie. It is another form of stored carbon.
