What are some problem that will result in the next decade if we don't reduce the consumption of oil?

I have some more questions as well:





What kinds of diseases are spread through water?


What causes water to become contaminated?


Where in the world is access to clean drinking water a crisis?


What progress/solutions are promoted by the United Nations currently allow access to clean drinking water?What are some problem that will result in the next decade if we don't reduce the consumption of oil?
5 completely independent questions in one post? A bit greedy, no?





As for your first question, you clearly haven't been paying attention. Just before the global economic bubble burst and the world went into recession, oil prices were up to $145/barrel.





There is no way we can afford to spend that much on oil and keep using it at the same rate. And if we kept trying, the price would rise even higher.





The issue is not whether we will be using substantially less oil per capita in the Western world, because we will. The real question is how we get to the point where we are suing less oil. Are we going to do it in a planned and coordinated manner or are we all of a sudden going to have to stop using so much oil with no preparation? What happens when there is not enough oil for all the trucks that bring us food each day?





The good news is that most people understand that there is something of a problem. The bad news is that most aren't doing much about it.
