If the world does doom itself by burning oil and never finding a viable alternative, what will happen by, say, the year 2100? (check all that apply)
Economic recession.
Small scale wars for oil resources.
Global war.
The end of suburban society.
Decreased globalism, and stronger local economies.
The collapse of society.
Complete environmental desctruction, as we struggle to pillage the last of earth's resources. Full scale climate change/global warming/whatever you want to call it, the death of all penguins, the collapse of coral reef systems, all species extinct except humans, dogs and cats, etc.
Some sort of totalitarian regime, either run by the United States, the European Union, or some other scary world-government system.
The collapse of major oil-producing nations, because they don't have any more cheap oil.
Depletion of the middle class, increase of the lower class, and about 1% of the world holding 99% of the world's wealth. (basically back to the industrial revolution)
Nothing bad's going to happen.
