As we know that oil, gas, forest and clean water are becoming lesser and lesser day by day and it is becoming difficult to fullfill the desire of ever increasing World population. So is there any alternative planned out?

Necessity is the mother of invention.
Reduce, re-use, recycle.
At some point it will no longer be economically feasible to use resources in such an unsustainable manner.
Maybe we'll have to re-learn how to darn our own socks rather than throwing them away and buying a new pair. Maybe planned obsolescence will become a thing of the past.
Think about it. The world over, Economy is king. How does a country keep it's economy on the rise? Keep selling/producing/exporting more and more stuff. Admittedly, plenty of the stuff produced is necessary even critical at times, but the vast majority of stuff that is produced and bought is worthless crap that will soon find it's way to a land fill.
If we discern better between our wants and our needs, we could greatly reduce the use of our precious natural resources. But the price of that is a lower GNP.

Your premise is incorrect. Resources aren't dwindling at anywhere NEAR the rate that the Environmental Alarmist Movement is portraying. But when they finally do, basic laws of economics will dictate that we figure out a solution involving more renewable alternatives. There's enough to be scared about in this life other than this rubbish... If I were you, I'm worry more about the future of the world if left in the hands of some of the people that ask questions on this site such as "how do I know if a boy likes me?" or "A boy said he wants to date me... what does that mean?"
And besides, these things have a way of working themselves out in the long run... through wars, disease, pestilence, famine, etc. If our population gets out of balance with the available carrying capacity of the planet, Mother Nature will step in and 'even the score.'

The human race will be extinct due to war, not a lack of resources. By the time it takes earth to renew itself, evolution will once again evolved into another form of humans. This cycle will continue until earth eventually dies and become a planet that cant sustain life.

I don't think there is but that's a scary thought especailly we are now living in a world that everything can be bought in a grocery store.
Man is actually good at adapting to it senvironment ever since and I am sure that some how we will adapt to it. We have to, in order to survive.

People lived for thousands of years without all our modern trappings. We would likely end up like Rome but with better technology and knowledge.

Hopefully, that won't happen,as long as we keep a stable population rate and preserve our resources.
RECYCLE AND TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORATION!!!!!
