What will humans do when our natural resources run out?

Question

What do you see human life doing in about 50 or 60 years?

Answer 1

they said we would never fly through the air like a bird.
We couldn't go more than 40 miles per hour or we wouldn't be able to breath or go faster than the speed of sound.
Cars would never replace horses. We Will never go to the moon.
Americans are inventors, cars, planes, computers, sewing machines, cotton gin, atomic bomb and the nuclear energy.
Even glasses for reading. Never came from Iraq or Iran.
Not one invention except oil. and the shell oil company from American ask if they could drill there. They didn't even do that.
You give us a problem we know how to fix it. From garage door openers to electric can openers. if all the money we send to help people over seas was used here instead of countries who hate us. We could come up with power that is a renewal resource that doesn't need oil. Wind mills, water wheels, solar power and even electric power. They use sugar cane in Brazil.
We have tons of coal. Find other ways.

Answer 2

This is why there are people who are trying to kill of 80% of human-life on this planet. They believe the Earth has too many people and if we don't do something about it we'll all die as a race.

I think humans are part of nature though, and we'll figure something out.

It's always the few that ruin it for the many. I mean, I'm not dumping toxic waste into the waters or building cars that run on oil. I'd love to drive a car that runs on Alcohal or Corn Oil, but they just don't sell those... so as it is, I don't own a car at all.

We really need a way to colonize another planet like Mars or something. Take an empty rock and we can build our own nature on it and not worry about screwing up what god created, but instead just making a new habbitat for humanity.

Answer 3

Yes, if we as a world society do not unite soon in realizing this serious problem, the world is really going to end as no forms of energy and natural resources are left. But as to the first question, some societies are at more faults than others, as these societies not only use excessively the resources available to them, their uses lead to changes in temperature, broken natural landscapes in other countries in which societies there have been working hard to protect

Answer 4

I see an increasing demand in organically produced food. But if that and cloning of sheep do not help to sustain our human population, we will resort to drastic measures.

An example is Easter Island...at one point, the human population on that island was completely wiped out because the islanders abused their land. When the land became barren, they resorted to cannibalism, targetting mainly on children and women.

But I also presume that our scientific research would allow more space travel in 50 years time. Humans might have resettled on a new planet.

Answer 5

50 or 60 years is too soon, But I predict in 100 to 200 years, There will be no resources whatsoever, and we will become cannibals and drink ocean water. Then we will mutate into super beings with mind powers, esp etc. That's just an opinion

Answer 6

I hope we populate a heavenly body elsewhere by then. I don't see much long term hope for the presently growing populations of the world. If the haters are successful and the world biosphere manipulators haven't killed us all by then, I suspect the world will be set back 2000 years or so population-wise. The world will be hotter and drier. Food and potable water may be real threats to survival due to the lack of resources.

I think we should all thank the leaders of the world now, for the lack of action they are taking to ensure a bright future for the human race.

Answer 7

They never will.
They can get enough energy from a glass of water to supply the world for 100 years.
If the population of the world was 100 times what it is today, still everyone could eat and dress like kings.
No problems in that one particular area.

Answer 8

We will survive, of course. I have the utmost faith in the pillocks and pin heads who make up the human race. Somehow we'll guddle through. I see a much smaller world population, a much hotter climate and people who realise we made a right mess of things.

Answer 9

The earth isn't running out of natural resources anytime soon. But over time, it will require more technology to get oil and other fossil fuels from the earth.

But don't despair. As oil gets harder to get (which costs $$$), the price of other fuels (solar power, ethanol, hydrogen fuel cells) will drop. As one type of fuel gets too expensive, there will be another to take its place.

Answer 10

There is hope in taking over a new world. I think they call it Scientific expansion or something like that. Most definitely not 'Taking Over Someplace New Cause We Screwed Up the Last Place We Lived'
