It takes:
-> 100 l water to produce 1 kg potatoes;
-> 4000 l water to produce 1 kg rice;
-> 13 000 l to produce 1 kg of beef meat;
+ the oil in the production process and transportation of these 'goods';
The agriculture is now oil-powered and this makes our living totally depended on it.
We know that the end of the cheap oil is imminent and we refuse to believe it.
80% of the mineral natural reserve is consumed by 20% of the world's population. Before the end of THIS century, mining will exhaust nearly all of this reserve.
Dubai:
-> has no drink water and it afford to desalinate see water and use it to build the highest sky scrapers;

Humanity has never lived in an atmosphere like this.
By 2020 1/4 of the species could be threated with extinction. Others pay the price without actively being involved.
Since 1950 the population has almost tripled. Since 1950 we have fundamentally altered our environment more then in all 200 000 years of human kind history.

How long can this mirage continue to 'prosper'?
It's too late to be a pessimistic. Se in the movie what man have made to already change this to our own sake. See that those exceptions can become the rule and can bring back our endangered home.
See here the whole movie HOME! These ideas are a short summary of it.
Don't look if you don't intend to do it till the end of it (1:33 h)!
