Abraham has a point regardless of whether you agree it applies to this issue.
Nobody can deny bigotry, self-deceit and delusions, corruption and an inability to adapt have been the primary reasons previous 17+ civilizations have ended.
Don't forget the Mayan civilization dissipated and abated due to climate changes (just not on the scale of today). Nature is interconnected and as Mayan population expanded they required more resources which accelerated dryer climates through deforestation and a change in rain patterns among other events.
Nobody denies we are consuming resources at massive volumes and without a doubt this has an effect on the whole ecosystem, our planet. Many say icebergs are the canary in the cave mine warning us of rapid degradation for our once almighty civilization. This is not necessarily the end of humanity, but a definite change with how we live and "consume." "Adaptation required," says climate change.
Hence, maintaining unwavering views in the face of global shortage is a risk our children's children will hope we avoid. If we believe nothing else, it is germane we learn how to consume less thereby respecting the balance required in nature to sustain our food production and water.
