You've been conned by the scamsters, I've just retired, but I remember reading the newspaper just after I left school how the boffins said we'd be out oil by the year 2000. I also remember being told how we're running out of food, water, gold, silver, timber, chocolate, helium, sardines, wine and bacon.
It's crap, take my word for it, I've heard all these tall stories for years.
