Dunno, I reckon that in my lifetime we will head towards the time that the supply of oil cannot anywhere near fulfill the demand. Rationed fuel, rationed energy, wars of little oil fields etc. etc. Add to that the supposed 10C rise in mean temperature or so over the next 100 years or so and i can see how we might end up living in interesting times. TBH I think the next 100 years or so will determine if we're destined to last or if we're going out in a bang (or a whimper). If for one wouldn't be surprised if due to the combination of global warming turning large areas of the planet unihabitable, wars and lack of fresh water we'll have a population crash of sorts.

lightblue, yes that seems reasonable. Twenty or thirty years down the road however. But, things change. Who knows what energy sources will be discovered in that time? Also, I think it was Oerdin that posted a thread about a year ago on a new way of removing salt from ocean water, super cheaply. This could mean that irrigation of huge areas of desert could alleviate the population crisis for the term of your life, if it works. Haven't heard anything about it since.

However if you're on the verge of something, you're not that something yet.
