Default Re: Are we screwed? - oil/wheat/water shortages

LATOC is quite a bit over the top. But there is a kernel of truth.

"The Limits to growth" is a good start, a very interesting read. They argue, fairly persuasively, that for at least the last 20 years we have been in overshoot, i.e. the material throughput through our economy cannot continue at this level sustainably.
