Sooner or later you'll figure out that I don't have an endless supply of anything and I'm going to start running out of the stuff you need to feed the beast you've created. As the supply decreases and the demand increases, what do you see being the end result? One day you're going to go to the cupboard and it's going to be bare, and then what's going to happen? The corporations and their pet politicians will reassure you that it can never happen, that there's always new sources of oil laying untapped beneath the sea or under the permafrost just waiting for us. Even if you do find a way to get at that oil, it's only a stopgap. It will run dry eventually.

You can already hear the wheels grinding to a halt. In their desperation to find more fuel for the beast's insatiable appetite, they're causing famine by using land that once grew food for humans to try and find a way to sustain the unsustainable by growing plants they can turn into fuel. They're also stealing the water that we all need to drink to stay alive by diverting rivers with dams to create hydroelectric power. The world is experiencing food shortages to such an extent that riots have started to break out because people are starving.

The more water they steal and the more land they take, the less food there will be and people will starve. A starving population is a desperate population. They will make the food riots of today look like a day at the beach. The question is not whether the system will fail or not. It's how will the system fail? Will it grind to a stop because you've run out of fuel, or will it explode into a million pieces as you run out of food for all the mouths in the world?

Now go away - you bother me.

As you can see, Mother Earth was in quite the mood. Can you believe some of the stuff she was coming up with? Talk about not understanding the big picture. What does she expect us to do? Shut down all the factories? As if that's going to ever happen. Mother Earth might know all about growing things, but she's really out of touch with what it means to be human.
