International trade through fossil fuels is responsible for the population growth around the globe. Especially the trade of food and agrochemicals. What will happen once fossil fuels either run out (worse case scenario) or we stop using them to stop climate change (best case scenario)?

This leaves only some options:
- Use non-fossil fuel ships like in the past, which are certainly slower and lower capacity, causing famine and death
- Global production declines either way because of the damage already done. Adding to this the stopping of international trade, and you have a massive social and economic disaster.

What are the possible solutions and outcomes?

Big ships could run on nuclear reactors.

Build the world land bridge and run trains.

If fossil fuels are indispensable for ships (or some other process), maybe you could use energy from other sources to make artificial oil from organic materials like corn or algae.

Neither Nuclear or Green Energy are actually viable for becoming the main source of the world's power supply, once the fossil fuels go humanity will have to be much more mindful about conserving its power. Many European countries already have plans for power rationing. With the oncoming environmental catastrophe you should also expect famines and mass starvation, much of the world's viable farmland is turning into desert at a alarming rate and this alongside the fuel crisis and insane current levels of population growth will lead to billions going hungry. The deer that eat everything on the island and breed out of control eventually go hungry.

>Use non-fossil fuel ships like in the past, which are certainly slower and lower capacity, causing famine and death

50% of current ship traffic is caused by the transport of fossil fuels themselves lmao

They literally are. What is this? 80s era style talking points? The fuck?

>>2347874
or, electric propellers, which also work too
>>2348073
were you born in 1961? this hasn't been true for over 20 years, and also you could completely stop using fossil fuels within 5 years for anything besides certain types of transportation and there wouldn't be some apocalyptic age

Nuclear energy is not the miracle cure it is sold to be. We must rely on renewable energy for now and approach nuclear energy with caution. Fission energy may be a better option
