Below are population-consumption projections for available resources if no changes are made to current behavior:

 

The amounts of resources remaining at the end of 2007 were estimated to be the following.

Global Ecological Footprint: 1,184 billion hectares
Energy: 38,640 qBtu
Gross World Product: $13,820 trillion (2005)

See the following alternative scenarios:

  • No Growth (no population growth or decline, no change in per capita consumption)
  • High Growth (resources increased to accommodate current trends; not speed adjusted)

Estimated energy reserves are plotted below for comparison with the simulation's energy resources:
