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.

simple question that comes with compounding consequences you ignore all the time, when has evolving stopped since the origin of the universe composed of molecular content sustaining kinetic displacements so far where details never stay the same total sum results so far?
Please to be sure to add thermol dynamics to any answer you respond with.
Your social mind and character role playing ignores what your biological point of displacement does naturally here. you are a proportionate part of numbers eternally separated so far. Your ideology doesn't exist without ancestors denying now is eternity.
Every brain born has a lifetime conflict with ancestral displacement and intellectual social position within the population present. Why, life is a compounding connection between inception, conception, death, extinction life doesn't exceed what exists now.
