This may have been discussed before but I'd like to bring up the topic of the realistic outcomes the world has going for it at the moment. What I mean is that the world is running low on carbon fuels and anti-biotics. The world looks bleak from where we're standing right now. The lack of natural resources is starting to put a strain on the world economy and gas emissions are at an all time high in China. The air is toxic in heavily industrialized areas of the world forcing many residents to cover their faces before they go outside. It's only a matter of time before we run out of oil and then what? What's next? How exactly are we supposed to maintain the economy without the use of oil and other carbon based products? There's a very simple answer, we can't.
When the final oil wells finally tap out war will break out in an effort to keep the remaining resources in their respective countries and attack other nations withholding the oil. Once that's all gone our entire infrastructure will collapse and the entire world will be in chaos. Without oil our world cannot function. Alternative methods of power generation are not nearly as effective as burning oil and fossil fuels. Without oil our entire world will collapse around us.
If that wasn't bad enough bacteria are starting to get tricky and now we're literally running out of possible anti-biotics. The sheer fact bacteria can multiply every 20 minutes means that they are constantly becoming more and more immune to the things that could have previously stopped them before. Leaving us heavily exposed to certain diseases that 20 years before could have easily been treated. With the possibility of wiping out a huge chunk of the population.
Humanity's survival looks bleak but I'm curious to know what you all think could possibly come of our future?
