There is a limit to the resources that support our modern consumer societies.
According to the Deccan Chronicle, “proven reserves of uranium will last less than 30 years.”
Science 2.0 asks, “When Will We Run Out of Fossil Fuels?”
There are many numbers in the Science 2.0 post. What I’m quoting will be the “Arguably reasonable projections”, which is an estimate meaning that if they are wrong, we might run out sooner.
The earliest the world may run out of oil is about 2070 and the latest by 2105.
Natural gas depletion would be between 2061 and 2095.
For the end of coal, that estimate is between 2079 and 2155.
However, if nations like China and India continue to create the American lifestyle for as many as possible, those dates may be much shorter.
Sustainable Development says that water wars may be coming sooner. In case you haven’t heard, there is a growing shortage of fresh water in the world so this is another cause for concern.
End of the American Dream says we are close to a horrific global famine.
What happens when the resources that supports life as we know it cannot meet demands? Wars and much suffering!
