Sure, the world's resources are finite, and we will hit those limits "eventually".
But the burden of proof is on the doomsday predictors who claim that doomsday is right around the corner, when all actual evidence shows that things are going great right now.
China and India are NOT bursting at the seems. Quality of life is better there than they have ever been. Quality of life is still going up, and it is going up like crazy in those places.
You can look at any quality of life metric at all. Mortality rates. Access to fresh water. Diseases. Hunger levels. Life expectancy. They are ALL getting better. And they are getting better by leaps and bounds.
No, not just in the west. In poor countries and the third world.
Evidence that they are having problems, would look something like "hunger is going up, and quality of life is going down." but that isn't happening.
