Hey there, I don't wish to keep chiming in with the same link, but it
seems everyone is missing it.  It's pertinent to the entire conversation:

      Can This Current Way of Life Continue?  (VIDEO)

    By Dermot O'Connor. 2012. (34:52)

    Combining graphs and other visual examples in animation, this short
    film goes through the issues surrounding the collapse of industrial
    civilisation--by collating the interconnectedness of energy
    depletion, carrying capacity, population growth, peak natural
    resource extraction, and other issues with the problems of
    exponential economic growth on a finite planet. Can this current way
    of life continue? The film takes us through these problems and also
    examines some of the many flaws inherent in some proposed solutions,
    such as 'change-by-personal-consumer-choice', or the vague belief in
    technology as the deus ex machina to save the day. These serious
    problems need serious solutions and require a radical rethinking of
    this current way of life that cannot continue indefinitely. Time is
    short...


I'm sure it may entertain answers to your questions.

Best,
Jore.
