Re: interesting read
There were similar dire predictions during the oil shock of the 1970's. We were supposed to run out of oil by 1985. Oil will be replaced as our primary energy source when the "invisible hand" of economics forces the price high enough that alternatives are viable. IMO we will have to go nuclear world-wide, at least for a while. This is not a great state of affairs, but at this point we (the human race) will be decimated without an economically viable energy source.
There are some who believe that there are way too many of us, and that our decimation is inevitable.
