Not even close, but that's no excuse for what we are doing.

I don't think it is the resources we are using up. It is the people and life that we have known.
The species will run its path to a new blood that will learn and use the planet the way it should be used. The cycle of life......

If we have used up all the Earth's resources, we'd all be dead now. In 50 years time, most of us will be dead. Due to old age/illness/accidents. But there will be a new generation and they'll be posting away on 3D holographic message boards about the same kind of stuff we do right now. And I'm sure the youngsters will still be pulling their hair out over the presence of man on planet Earth and how horrible the effects of his existence are.

Are you nuts..??..!!!
Heck no we won't use up "all our stuff"..
there are plenty of place on this planet that
we have yet to plunder and pillage...
and when we as humans have finished and depleted
this planet to a barren, radio-active ball of mud..
There is OUTER SPACE with it's untold millions
of planets and worlds waiting for our arrivial..
As a race..??
My feelings..??
We have just begun.........

It may well be too late. But there is hope that at some point the human race will wake up to reality but I'm not holding my breath. While most of us wont be here in 50 years, I'm quite sure the world will be a very different place than it is today.
There was a show on TV from National Geographic here called "Aftermath-World Without Oil"
It painted a bleak picture of life after the oil runs out.
Modern people are not prepared or equipped to live in a world without a free flowing form of cheap energy. But older people who have experience in a world before electrification and paved roads filled with cars & trucks ferrying people to their workplace & goods from point of origin (farm, seaports) to consumer and business travelers flying 1000's of miles to meetings, will be.
The old knowledge of how to live off the land, how to milk a cow, how to harness the power of a horse or mule, how to pump water from a well using only the power of the wind, how to heat a house with wood, etc will be very much in demand.
The bright side of this gloomy picture is global war will be virtually impossible without oil.
Mankind will finally be forced to accept the obvious fact that we are all in the same boat, it is our home planet and there is no other place to go. Preserve it for the future of our species, or destroy it for all but vegetation and insects & whatever animals we haven't wiped out.
To paraphrase Oppenheimer,
Intelligence, the destroyer of worlds.[/i]

In response to: Have we gone to far as a species on this planet....using up all its resources
Don't know really,but the must-haves for survival would appear renewable,but I think it's fair say that the state of this here land(aust) is a perfect example of how our actions can have an adverse effect on the earths ability to produce and retain the things required to survive,I mean,dryland salinity's no myth,and IS the result of 150 years of unsiutable and disrespectful farming and consumption practices,and has already reduced the availiblity of fertile land,and some projections for the future on this issue are very bleak,to say the least,and I see it as some what indicitive of the over-all contempt at least a portion of our spieces has shown toward food and water supplies in relatively recent times.But alas,many things happening to suggest it's changing,far to slow for many,but changing none the less,and I think we've proven mother natures a resiliant old baitch,but we've proven also we can push our luck,so personally,I'll remain optimistic,and say we haven't gone to far,but I can understand why some aren't so optimistic,would seem apathy towards enviromental issues still runs rife in many,at least in this here neck of the woods,and fair enough,science fiction appeals to many,but I can't help but wonder if the reality will be so appealing!Guess future generations may well find out,technology pending,of course!

If you think about how much has changed in the last 50 years, the changes over the next 50 years will be so radical that I doubt anyone would get very close in predicting them.
However, the continually growing population on this planet is the only reason to worry about the change being for the worse. In virtually every respect, we're better off now than we were 50 years ago.
