2)Food

3)Water

4)Oil

Answer 2

It has to be oil. But during World War two the Germans managed to invade the whole of Europe and were going in to North Africa. They used tanks, every type of vehicle, lots of ships and submarines. They had no oil! They made synthetic oil! If we had bombed the synthetic oil production facilities instead of innocent people in Berlin - the war would have been over much quicker. but Winston Churchill was a dimwit and Bomber Harris hated Hitler. Start growing sunflowers now - you can use sunflower oil!

Answer 3

Oil of those things but it may surprise you to know that all of those things may still exist after we're gone.

Albert Einstein once said if the bees go, mankind has about 4 years left. Scientists are worried about that now since there seems to be a continuing decline in the number of bees around the world. They are tied to our very existence for without pollination, crops don't grow, food doesn't grow, animals don't get fed, we depend on the crops and animals, then mankind starves to death.

Four years after the bees are gone, humans begin to die off. I'm not so worried about the oil now.

Answer 4

As Water can never actually run out unless we pump it into space, If O2 levels fall Co2 levels have to rise encouraging plant growth, and we'll just eat each other until population meets an equilibrium with nature. I'd have to say OIL is the most endangered resource.

Answer 5

Running out of it, won't be the problem. Having less then demand will increase prices out of reach for most.
It will cause civil war, similar like after Kathrina in N.O., with all its ugliness and devastation, long before we run totally out of anything. Our Economy is so fragile, that relative small shifts in prices can derail it. Let the oil get up to $200, with the housing market still going lower and the two wars sucking up every cent, the USA will go down and rip the rest of the world with it into the end and a new beginning. My bet will be on Europe, weathering it best and coming out on top, they have a lot of practice.

Answer 6

We know that water is made partially of oxygen so we couldn't run out of oxygen before water, we need water to grow food so we couldn't run out of water before food, so that leaves either food or oil. Since we can live without oil and there is a greater demand for food, I'm going with food.

Answer 7

Oil, Water can always be taken from the sea and turned into pure water, oxygen is always going to be on the earth until we pave the earth surface. Food is the same as the Oxygen.

Answer 8

Oil as it is a non-renewable substance. Water can be purified and desalinated, food can be grown and oxygen is created by trees and plants. Oil, unless we are willing to wait another 65 million years will be gone when it runs out.

Answer 9

Oil

Answer 10

none of them in your lifetime. if any of them it will be oil based on our knowledge today. but of course we have very little knowledge about how the earth works, and unlike environmentalist nut jobs i won't claim to know the answer to a question that we can't answer. we have no real idea how much oil there is in the world for us to use.

Answer 11

Oil
