Your entire world structure is built on a finite resource. The infrastructure that uses this resource and everything that comes out of it are generating ecological consequences down the line. If your political ideology doesn't take this into account it's not a serious thing.

I’m all about taking care of the environment but natural resource concerns are bunk - long history of this. Scarcity of resources isn’t a real problem. I know this sounds shocking but it’s 100% true.

I'm talking about petroleum specifically. It's not infinite, therefore unless conditions become such that we dont need it, it will be a problem eventually. You're looking at a complete revamp of all existing shipping and power generation.

“Peak oil” will not happen - mark my words. We already have such advances in fracking, (revolutionary) and natural gas as a super abundant alternative. Solar is becoming much more viable as well. We are so far from having any shortage of fossil fuels.

It has happened already, and the EROEI on those new techniques has a much faster extraction bell curve and goes negative much faster than conventional Wells. Solar isn't a valid alternative because the enitre production and logistics chain for it is fossil powered.

You have to beware anything the “environmental lobby” tells you. These people (Sierra Club, Greenpeace CBD, etc.) do very little for the environment. They oppose domestic energy projects in country’s with strong regulations, push development to unregulated countries.

Fuck all those people #1 that's not where I get my information from and #2 I'd prefer much more radical solution

Hey, I want an apocalypse as much as the next person, but I really doubt it will be caused by scarcity of resources.

Really the biggest candidate for an environmental event of apocalyptic proportions is ocean degradation > phytoplankton die off > 80% drop in oxygen generation planet wide.

I don’t know the truth, but am super skeptical of such claims. Environmental apocalypses have the worst track record.

I'm extrapolating from current oceanic conditions/trend numbers and relating that to where our oxygen comes from. Looking like about 48 years at current acidification/plastic proliferation rates until entropic cascade. Reversion is possible.
