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....
