I've noticed that peak oil is always now+10 years:

All you need to know about peak oil is "Are the reserves growing or shrinking over time?"

You'll also note that "peak food" and "peak landfill space" didn't turn out to be nearly as insurmountable as people thought they'd be.

(Anyone remember the total obsession with garbage we had for a few years in the late eighties early nineties? Like how we were going to cover the entire world with it if we didn't recycle everything? Turns out, um... global warming and peak oil!)

Personally, living in Japan, I'm more concerned with "peak people" than any of the above.

Turns out we simply dump it to the oceans and create new continents where no one will see them.
