Wikipedia
Doomer
Doomer and, by extension, doomerism are terms which arose primarily on the Internet to describe people who are extremely pessimistic or fatalist about global problems such as overpopulation, peak oil, climate change, and pollution. Some doomers assert there is a possibility these problems will bring about human extinction. A 2021 study showed that the doomer mindset is common among young people. Alternatives to doomerism include solarpunk.Malthusians have related Doomerism to Malthusianism, an economic philosophy holding that human resource use will eventually exceed resource availability, leading to societal collapse.

Doomer
A doomer is one who believes that peak oil is causing or will cause both the collapse of industrial civilization, and a gigantic die-off of most of the human population. Many doomers are also survivalists. Doomers attribute their beliefs to humanity's over reliance on petroleum for agricultural and industrial productivity. By contrast a "peakist" would be one who has a lighter view on the implications of peak oil, although this label has been dismissed from within the movement as vacuous. "Boomsters" takes the opposite, cornucopian position.
