All through April the media was calling it the "oil bubble."
But then for the first time in over 25 years, the words "oil crisis" (sometimes "oil shock") began to surface at some point in mid to late May. And during that stage of news coverage, the phrase was either in quotation marks or accompanied by a skeptical question mark:
May 023 It’s not an Oil Crisis it’s a Dollar Crisis
May 028 So-called oil crisis will be beneficial
June 06 US energy chief says no need to tighten oil regulations: "There is no oil crisis"
June 11 World Faces `Oil Crisis;' IEA Ready to Tap Reserves
June 11 The world faces an "oil crisis"
June 12 Third Oil Shock?
June 12 Data shows world facing '3rd oil shock': IEA chief+
June 12 Energy concerns echo oil crisis of Nixon days, Kissinger says
June 13 the contrarian - WHAT OIL CRISIS?
But now, the quotation marks have fallen away, the question marks have been discarded, and the phrase is being freely used in headlines all over the world:
June 18 Larson: President Politicizing Oil Crisis
June 19 X marks the spot in oil crisis
June 19 Oil crisis more serious than 9/11 for airlines
June 19 Oil crisis fuels blame game
June 19 Readers' Comments Oil crisis grim echo of '70s
June 20 Oil Crisis is Solvable
June 20 EU Leaders Look For Answer To Oil Crisis
June 20 Former Saudi oil minister says world reaching third oil crisis
Thus has "The Global Oil Crisis," at last been dubbed official, at least in the eyes of the Fourth Estate.
