It isn't funny because the GP doesn't want SI units to be used because they are a standard but because 95% of the world can understand them. I'm certain that more than 95% of people understand years.

The prediction was that peak oil (i.e. the maximum rate of oil extraction) would happen in 2000. For conventional oil, this was not far off: production peaked in 2005 and has been in decline since. What the prediction missed is that we would extract shale oil on a large scale. The long-term economic viability of fracking is in doubt, though, since apparently no fracking enterprise has been profitable to date; it's all financed by venture capital.
