Estimated depletion of resources on Earth?

Surely this can't be accurate. What about recycling?

It goes back up after a bunch of folks die.

Stopped reading when expected oil depletion estimated to occur at 2050.

The fundamental fallacy behind it FWIW, is that it uses fourth grade math to extend the present indefinitely.
No supply and demand curves, much less new technologies and applications.

If history is any indicator, these stupid things are always ridiculously wrong. We'll still be drilling for oil in 2050.

I'm going to say that this chart is worthless.
I don't remember much from my nuclear engineering class... but I do remember that the US has thousands of years worth of available uranium for energy.
Of course technology and demand plays a big part of the above statement on nuclear power.

So the Rare Earth Minerals are the least rare.
Got it.
Got it.

What's the source of that graphic? It really looks ridiculous even before you consider that they are leaving out a basically untouched continent to the south which we would harness for resources if push came to shove.
ETA: unless they are throwing Antarctica resources in with Oceania but it still looks just as ridiculous.

Oil and especially Gas are so inaccurate, it's comical. It's a shame they damage their credibility like that, because there probably are some other resources on there that are very finite. We won't know from this chart because they are either liars or inept.

There is no such thing as a finite natural resource. We have never run out of anything and we never will, mate.

Actually, there's a frickton of a lot of that in North America. However, due to some wrongheaded policies, it cannot be exploited.

All I know is Donald Trump is using up Earth's bullshite supply at an alarming rate.
