time it's different." I specifically remember in college (25 years ago) a professor insisting that supply was all downhill and that the crisis we were in then was child's play compared to the years to come.
Well, the prof was totally right. The supply *is* downhill, as we're burning through those hydrocarbons faster than new biomass is forming (hint - if our consumption was matched by biomass formation, the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere would remain constant...) And if you thought the mess then with some 3B people on the planet was bad, wait till 8B or 9B people that depend on a petrochemical-sustained lifestyle suddenly get a rude awakening....
