It means people living a far simpler lifestyle, reducing populations by as much as a half. And then to a quarter.

Water will be the first resource to become very scarce, this will effect crops and livestock. to such a degree that food will become scarce and expensive. Cheap easy to find oil is getting scarce, that will impact on plastics and the prices of fuels.

The overwhelming problem will 7 billion trying to live off the resource only capable of supporting half that number. Compare these and see the problem.





1.111 billion live in Africa. that's more than the entire world the last time we had climate changes of ay significance.

Capitalism won't help when the shit hits the fan.
