What Happens When The Earth Resources Are Depleted?

[AProudLefty]

Here are six natural resources already under severe pressure from current rates of consumption:

1 – Water

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is predicting that by 2025, 1.8 billion people will be living in countries or regions with water scarcity.

2 – Oil

The BP Statistical Review of World Energy in June measured total global oil at 188.8 million tons, from proven oil resources at the end of 2010. This will last 46.2 years, under current global production rates.

3 – Natural Gas

Similarly to oil, we only have enough gas in proven reserves to meet 58.6 years of global production.

4 – Phosphorus

Without this element, plants cannot grow. With the need to feed 7 billion people, and scientists from the Global Phosphorus Research Initiative predict we could run out of phosphorus in 50 to 100 years.

5 – Coal

Coal has the largest reserves, but as industrialization continues, demand may outstrip supply. At current rates, we can meet 188 years of global production.

6 – Rare Earth Elements

Scandium and terbium are two of 17 rare earth minerals used in wind turbines and smartphones. Exact reserves are not known.

Things are not getting better.

Humans are using up their allowance for water, soil, clean air and other resources on Earth each year. By August 2, 2017, humans used more from Nature than the planet could renew within a year. This is known as the Overshoot Day.

How will we be able to survive after that? How will we be able to get off the Earth? And so on.

Perhaps no more Farcebook and Twatter?

I welcome you to discuss this frightening scenario.

You're not worried about survival, you're worried about your smartphone.

Millennials need Farcebook to share their dinners they cooked or ate.

What answer besides us being S.O.L. is there?

It's more like W.B.F.

The Earth will carry no more people than it can. I have been arguing for voluntary population control for a long time....we can do this the easy way or we can do it the hard way, but the job will be done.

What happens? You guys all light your hair on fire and jump off cliffs. Me?....I'll be kicking back sucking on a gin and tonic jamming the instrumental ending of FREEBIRD!

Yep. I can think of a few people that need to volunteer. Truth Detector and Lesion would be two of them.

Well you know we know that on average people are getting more stupid....it very well may be that this is because lower quality genetic stock is doing too much of the breeding.

When the Chinese institute global population controls I feel certain that they will consider this when deciding who is allowed to breed.

I don't like it, but it feels necessary. The future outlook is bleak.

It always ends the same way...death and destruction.

When all the Lithium and Ion are mined within the next 2 years, that electric car dream is fucked.
What about electric trucks, hmm?
Things to deliver goods to people. Has that been considered? No? Que surprise! Fucking dumbasses.
You're not getting any food delivered, feed yourself, now what?

breed less besides you don't need kids there's enough mental rejects in Antifa blm and the democrat party already

This one probably is not the one but we are going to have a virus that takes out hundreds of millions in a short period of time.

It is going to be gruesome.
