I think modern industrialized civilization is doomed because of peak oil. What is peak oil you might ask? Peak oil is basically when you reach your maximum oil (petroleum) production. At peak oil, you can't produce anymore oil than you are already producing.
Why does peak oil matter? It is because we recently reached it. We can't produce anymore oil than we are currently producing. After you reach peak oil, your oil production will decrease, because oil is a finite resource. Once you use up our oil, it is essentially gone forever because oil is a nonrenewable resource. We only have a few more decades of oil left in the ground.
This is why peak oil REALLY matters. Our modern day civilization is totally and utterly reliant on oil. Simply without oil, our modern civilization will collapse. Even our food production is totally and utterly reliant on oil. Without oil, we can't even produce enough food to feed our current population. Without oil, we will have billions of people starve to death. Yes, according to my research, we can't even feed our present population without oil. That's why peak oil is so important. When we run out of oil, our global population will most likely decrease because we can't feed our present (or future) population without oil.
Our economy is also totally and utterly reliant on oil. When you take oil out of the equation, our economy will also totally collapse. I expect an economic depression as bad, if not worse, than the Great Depression, once we run out of oil. The upcoming depression resulting from the absence of oil will be much worse than the Great Depression because this depression is caused by nature rather than being a speculative bubble. Like I mentioned before, we have already reached peak oil. Expect our oil production to soon decline after reaching the peak of oil production. And our economy and food production will decline once our oil production starts to decline. Expect food prices to increase and unemployment to increase. There is NO WAY our economy will get better once our oil production decreases after peak oil.
We will not instantly run out of oil. Instead, the price of oil will gradually increase as the supply decreases. The price of oil will eventually become so expensive that we can't afford it anymore. And once oil becomes too expensive for anyone to afford it, modern industrialized civilization will completely collapse...food production will halt, and massive famine and starvation will ensure.
Don't expect alternative energies to oil to save the day because alternative energies to oil are very highly underdeveloped at the current moment. Also, alternative energies to oil (i.e. wind, solar, hydroelectricity, biofuels, and geothermal) are not going to be enough to compensate for the void left by the absence of fossil fuels (i.e. oil, coal and natural gas). There is NO alternative energy that can make up for the energy void left by the absence of fossil fuels, so when we run out of fossil fuels, we are truly screwed.
Expect a complete collapse of human civilization within the next couple of decades as our oil supply decreases. Like I already said, we will probably completely exhaust our oil supply within the next couple of decades at the current rate of consumption, and once we exhaust our oil supplies, we are completely screwed. Expect overpopulation to completely reverse, as our current human population plummets as our oil supply is completely exhausted. Food production will go down as our oil supply decreases, until there is massive famine and starvation across our globe once we run out of oil.
Expect modern civilization to collapse once we run out of oil. Don't expect humanity to reach the stars one day because we destroyed our one and only planet before we could leave it. Humanity is pathetic. All we do is overpopulate this planet and exhaust its limited natural resources, which results in our eventual demise. If only humanity was wiser and didn't overpopulate this planet and exhaust its natural resources, I would actually have hope for humanity. But I have no hope for humanity, as humanity is nothing more than a pathetic cancer to this planet. We are killing this planet through overpopulation, and we will be purged off this planet once we run out of natural resources.
