Eventually, unless we pull off some real good technology advances in the production of food and water, the wars of the future are going to be fought over these two resources we can't live without.

There simply won't be enough fish and animals left to eat at a certain breaking point. Not enough vegetation and fruit because there are only so many places that can produce good crops.

India is expected to be at 2 Billion by 2050. Their water tables are dropping 3 meters per year. Eventually you reach a point where there is not enough water for irrigation and drinking water.

And what about waste and trash disposal. Where's it all going?
I don't know how India manages today. I can't understand how it can continue to support as many people as it does. Even though most live in complete poverty, they're still existing somehow. And tomorrow there will be another 42,000, and the next day, and the next day.
