World Famine

I Have been repeatedly told that if u are not intrested in something thats posted just to ignore it dont read it and move on
I assume when this advice was handed out it was meant for all. I am taking this advice on board so why not the people that gave this advice take it themselves. At this stage anybody that has been here for a while knows the tone my posts will take so if
ure mental state finds them to be overly depressing i think its best not read them.I dont apologise for the content seeing as
i am also being constantly told that tis the variety makes this place. If anybody finds them unintresting or even down right boring
there is absolutely no onus on that person to read anything i post

well now ... I found that more interesting....

It's actually an interesting topic.

One interesting aspect is how we hear these arguments repeat themselves in various forms. I remember reading years ago how the world's supply of oil was going to run out some time in the late 1990s, and how as a consequence we were going to be rightly fucked.

What's always missing from these arguments is the disregard for man's ingenuity which generally comes to the rescue.

Thank u for bringing the subject back on topic as alot of the previous posters have obviously posted here for no other reason than to antagonise me as they have made no attempt to offer anything to the debate .
To reply to ure post yes mans ingenuinty will prolong things while not solving it. Oil will eventually run out as we have only been using it seriously for a couple of hundred years wheras it takes millions of years for it to develop.
We are prolonging it with technology by going into deep sea drilling and trying to get the oil from more un accessaible places
all the time at greater and greater risk and cost as was witnessed by this years disaster.
How long before it will cost more to extract a barrell of oil than it is actually worth?
Let it be 30 yrs 50 yrs or 200 yrs but we will exhaust completely the resource

What you say is unquestionably true, but my point is before that happens there will be a breakthrough somewhere else, so we will not need oil.

Nuclear fission is one example - we seem to be tantalisingly close to a steady source of cheap power.

Yes i would agree with that i feel we should already have gone the nuclear road, but the fact is oil is so vital for so many
more things other than energy, i agree that we will try solve the problems on an ongoing basis but i do feel at some stage
we will reach a crossroads and if the world survives it will be an unrecognisable place from what it is today
I think we will reach a stage that the problems will come more quickly than we can solve them
