Chapter 18 – Environmental Data: The entire human population reached three billion in 1960, and today more than twice that number of people live on earth with rapid growth expected to continue in the future. Unfortunately, an increasing population increases the demand for earth’s natural resources. In this chapter, Dr. Chris Martenson explains that since the easiest-to-extract, most abundant natural resources are extracted first, our growing population will have to deal with scarce, energy-consuming, low-grade resource availability in the near future. www.chrismartenson.com
A single oilfield is meaningless. The discoveries off the coast of Brazil are the most challenging oil fields ever discovered and won’t be produced for at least 10 possibly 20 years. By then we will have lost so much existing production that it will only slightly slow the decent.
You are talking more like 4 or 5 years at 20mb/d and you couldn’t extract 20mb/d even if you wanted to.
I don’t know if you’re referencing as to me being stupid because I think what this guy is saying is right or wrong. I think he’s right though.
Don’t let ignorance slow you down.
Hey man fuck it, I quit telling people about it because everyone starts thinking your a left wing conspiracy nut so fuck em. They’ll see how well all of their cheap plastic shit tastes when they’re starving to death. I mean, even my best friend was like “I don’t care about that shit”, so I was straight up like, well when you want me to share my emergency rations with you and I don’t, just know I warned you and it’s a matter of survival at this point. I hope the dollar in your pocket tastes good
Chris has good music and and good punches. He beat the CRAP out of out of some dude yesterday night in NYC after he called him a nigger , the guy was demolished. TMZ posted the video at tmzfights. com
It’s not depressing. It’s a kick in the ass! So get going!
This is my #1 recommended video set anywhere, and I am constantly recommending it – but still too few views. Meanwhile I’ve moved from the USA to a rural village in Asia, and am living on less land that most neighbors, but doing well with traditional organic farming methods, Brahma manure for fertilizer etc. Solar and wind energy will be in supply for a long time, if only people would move to these quickly…
men.. this is all so overwhelming that is hard not to get depressed!
i would like to give you a round of a plase
It’s unsettling.
such important videos and yet only 20,000 views? A fucking laughing cat video on youtube gets more views. we are all seriously screwed.
The simple truth right now is that there’s going to be TOO DAMN MANY BABIES and TOO DAMN MANY ADULTS to endure a energy supply bottom out. The net result, if not horribly bloody high-body-count wasteful war, will be an impenetrable wall of massive death if everyone decides to keep barreling along at a moronic rate.
somehow, I hope it is.
Not a fan of the hybrid car, personally. Hydrogen seems like it’s not worth it, too difficult to use. Anyone check out “Who killed teh electric car”?
Natural gas prices just hit 7 year lows due to a new method of extraction and low electricity demand. Not only is it a substitute for coal in generating electricity, but can also be used for cars as it is in some countries for taxis and in the US for buses. They’re actually starting to export it to countries than use LNG vehicles because they’re running out of storage space.
Interesting…today I found a new article about how hybrid car production is feeling the pinch of needing rare earth metals. Just as we are trying to get away from gasoline.
MORE CARS… WANT MORE ^^ camaro plx
this guy is a genius the coal graph was amazing.
Thats fine, just recycle them, they are still here on earth mostly, just in various modified form.
Excellent work yet again Chris! Much appreciation.
So we should kill all the Mexicans?
once genetic breeding is perfected:
wipe out all females
females become genetically created made to order products
they are paid for on the basis of a lump sum + monthly installments. this minimizes ‘hoarding’ of assets
they can be traded in or tradeable between asset owners
50% of population issues solved
Our world needs the future population growth to sustain our current ecomomic lifestyle. ie, a greater source of labour for an ageing population. And more people to consume (create debt money) in order to maintain our economic system. But yes that works against our depleting energy and food resources for which we need to maintain life. That is THE problem. The American indians had it right, they lived in balance with natures resourses. Maybe such a lifestyle will be forced upon future mankind;-)
Great series.
Population control you do not mention as a solution…
