One word: Water. If the current trends continue, in 50 years, the need for drinking water will far outstrip anything happening with petroleum. No water, no crops.

Daily Kos: Hell is coming: Drought in the age of global warming

These models only address the supply-side of water resources likely to be affected by climate change. Our demand for water has also been increasing thanks to overpopulation, poor conservation of surface water sources, and our extravagant use of water in agriculture, power generation, and industry. And then there is the depletion and toxic degradation of our water resources to extract fossil fuels through unconventional recovery methods such as shale gas drilling, oil sands refining, and mountaintop removal coal mining.

Between climate change-induced drought, excessive water consumption, and water pollution, we are loading at least five bullets into the chambers of a six-cylinder gun. Instead of pointing the gun at our head, we are taking aim at our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

People like those fucking Duggar bastards should lined up and shot. Worldwide we should be aiming for 0 population growth, ideally, population decline. People should have one child, two at the most, preferably none.

Of course, a plague may take care of that, and since most of those "quiverful" goofballs who homeschool usually don't get their kids vaccinated, there might be part of that problem resolved. Of course, idiot missionaries tell 3rd worlders that god wants them to "be fruitful and multiple" but since those children are malnourished, usually don't have access to potable water, and rarely get vaccinated, they only have about a 50% survival rate under the best of circumstances.
