 Will world population growth survive after the decline in world oil production?  Can civilization survive the stress of falling oil production, food prices rising and stresses of climate change mounting?  Will world population growth survive after the decline in world oil production?  Can civilization survive the stress of falling oil production, food prices rising and stresses of climate change mounting?

 It is oil inefficient to produce ethanol with our current technology.  If China becomes has the same rate of prosperity compared to the U.S. China will need 89 million barrels while the world only produces 85 million.  It is oil inefficient to produce ethanol with our current technology.  If China becomes has the same rate of prosperity compared to the U.S. China will need 89 million barrels while the world only produces 85 million.

 Increase in Population  Global Warming  Overprotection (9/11 issues)  Falling Behind on Energy Efficiency  Increase in Population  Global Warming  Overprotection (9/11 issues)  Falling Behind on Energy Efficiency

 The world population will increase from 6.7 billion to 9.2 billion by the year  The poorest countries are most affected by population growth  With population growth energy use needs to be more efficient  The world population will increase from 6.7 billion to 9.2 billion by the year  The poorest countries are most affected by population growth  With population growth energy use needs to be more efficient

 Increase in population → More energy consumption → Increase in greenhouse gasses  Greenhouse gasses from: Burning Fossil fuels Deforestation Industrialization Large scale cattle grazing agriculture  Increase in population → More energy consumption → Increase in greenhouse gasses  Greenhouse gasses from: Burning Fossil fuels Deforestation Industrialization Large scale cattle grazing agriculture

 Since 9/11 the U.S. has been afraid and putting up walls  Due to this preoccupation there has been a “paralysis of the American Political System.” Led to the inability to tackle major problems  Increased security  “If you go dark, the whole world goes dark”  Since 9/11 the U.S. has been afraid and putting up walls  Due to this preoccupation there has been a “paralysis of the American Political System.” Led to the inability to tackle major problems  Increased security  “If you go dark, the whole world goes dark”

More people are moving from small areas and villages to megacities( million people in megacities) for jobs.  Sustainable villages need to be created by getting energy sources to these villages, which in turn will create more jobs.

 Government affects the ability to initiate sustainability  Government’s overprotection makes them forget the smaller things (us and our environment).  Government affects the ability to initiate sustainability  Government’s overprotection makes them forget the smaller things (us and our environment).
