The world as we know it will crumble with the exhaustion of recoverable fossil energy. What began as the industrial revolution with coal, will end badly. The fossil fuel era will end as all others likely have. Either the source of energy gets increasingly inefficient or otherwise fails to meet demand. War and destruction follow.
The promise of some transition to renewables or nuclear to continue on current trajectory is pure fantasy.
What is most tragic about this era is the rampant destruction and pollution of the natural world. Mass extinction at our hand. Sad
