Energy Resources...We're Screwed
I thought physics today would be the same old tired affair, either do nothing for the whole lesson watching old man Ghettle walk in and out of the classroom occassionally or listen to him drone on about resistance or whatever the fuck we're supposed to be learning about. But anyway, todays lesson was different, today we were (and I use this lightly) learning about energy resources.
Big deal, you may say. We learn this kinda crap in Geography all the time. However, unlike our Geography teacher Frost, Gettle uses his "dynamic" youthful charm to really captivate his target audience of bored and hormone-driven teenagers.
I already knew most of the stuff he told us but to have it consolodated like that... wow.
So our worlds resources are running out. In 40 years time we will have used up all our gas and oil. In 200 years time we will have used up all our coal. Basically we're screwed but I knew all this. Apparently someof the most important things in the world are made from oil (clothes, tupperware, ikea furniture etc.) we will be in shitstreet without it.
Which is why there's so much pressure on the Middle East from America. Should all our oil finally deplete then it would trigger a WWIII with the superpowers fighting it out for that precious liquid. America are planning to stockpile it all so the can sit it out should any war spark. Unfortunately for them, there is also China.
China might not seem too great at the moment but its economic growth is increasing by 250% and will overtake Britain and America by 2025. Roughly around the time we start panicking over resources. So when China comes knocking at the doors of America (with its kickass economy and massive population) I doubt they'd take a polite no for an answer.
To cut to the chase there'd be a nuclear winter where there'd be no food or fuel. Soon we'll resort to Soylent Green to survive and people don't want to know what that's made of.
Apparently, Yellowstone Park will also explode around that time (I watched SuperVolcano on ITV so don't question me) and there won't even be an America.
So China inherits the world and survives off soylent green until the nuclear winter dies down. Then they'll start thinking about fuel. Maybe they'll even think of improving China's football team (who couldn't even qualify for the World Cup)
All this isn't certain. What is certain is that I won't get my pension and Labour will screw us over just like it has done a thousand times. It'll start with the 12 year olds forced to vote for Labour then our pension packages will be replaced with the pill. I haven't even taken into account what will happen should cyanide start running low.
To summarise: There's nothing to look forward to in 40 years time.
So yeah, the future's pretty grim.
