We don't have to eat sharks and flipper - I saw soylent green - there is lots of good protein to consume. And when man starts building underground cities we will have all that new space. Raymond quit being so negative, sometimes you got to think on your feet:

Ray, 6 billion people are fitting in easily, with most space empty. So physical location is no issue. People seem to like to snuggle in cities.

So the fish run out. That means eating steak instead. That's okay. People who lived in the centre of the continents for 1000s of years didn't eat seafood, so I guess it works okay.

Stop burning oil, start burning coal or nuclear or photovoltaics. Assuming oil does finally reach that popular Hubbert Peak, which some time it must do.

Meanwhile, human populations are dropping as we rant. Despite the fact that we are doing our bit and grandchild number one should be born any day now. Young people are NOT breeding like bunnies and in many countries are far from replacing the population. That means, unless something changes, there will be big drops in population. Especially if H5N1 clears out the old age group, [as influenzas tend to do], and a lot more besides.

Life is great and getting greater. It's wonderful.

In the bad old days, one could line up all the spare young men and send them off with a sword and battle axe to try to take over some nearby territories. Since they were spare, it was good for both communities to get rid of them like that. Now, they are NOT spare. Though in Islamic Jihad countries they are not very valuable and are doing the age-old conquest thing as best they can against the Crusaders armed with cruise missiles and other sneaky military stuff.

Growth is great and profits are wonderful.

PS: Re Gunga Din, we don't go in for that these days. Now it's outsourced to Bangalore and Gunga Din is working in salubrious conditions tending my empire.

He's a better man than me, sourcing code from dusk to dawn
When we need the data running true and free.
Whether tired or bleary-eyed and whether really heat-wave fried
He'll wade his way through battles thick and thin.
As my share price really croaks, he is chocking up the spokes of the wheel of fortune running through his town.
He's doing it for me so together we'll breathe free
In the hinterlands of glory days to be.
