We're also going to run out of oil in the 2060s. Can't come soon enough
By the 2060's a few billion of us will likely be dead, so it's swings and roundabouts I suppose when it comes to running out of oil.
Some fun links from the World Economic Forum and the United Nations about this: Global freshwater demand will exceed supply 40% by 2030 and 90% of global top soil and arable land is at risk of depletion by 2050.
Likely the most vulnerable populations will be in already struggling and poor countries. :(
Yep but more than likely we won’t be prepared…
Probably not, I care more about the environment though and the habitability of the earth than having oil. Besides, we do have alternative energy sources.
Like coal! Yay!
