Everyone's statistical likelihood of starvation will go up a bit.

who is "we"? as of now, there's still oil being extracted and fertilizer being produced, just a bit less of it. if you live in a western country you don't have to worry too much about it, except higher prices of food and everything that gets transported. if you're a subsistence farmer in a place like bangladesh then you're to some degree fucked

Beans, start talking about beans

The amount of excess food will go way down and the price will go up, which will mostly affect third world countries. A lot of people will starve at the beginning.
Couple this with clean water scarcity that will exasperate diseases and the human population will drop toward sustainable numbers.

Good news! Soylent Green can solve all three with a bit of processing.

I recommend checking out Nate Hagens Youtube channel "The Great Simplification." He's been working on this for years and his videos are brilliant. Here's a few good ones I randomly picked as starting points:

How might daily life feel in the next decades? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlkAeQ5xdeQ

Protect the irreversible - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMfzVhTWMDM

How to play 5D chess - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPctKcmnTvQ

And his most recent one, 4 things we can't afford to get wrong - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONtWQjRa0GY

I know recommending videos sucks, who the hell has half an hour to watch a video suggested by an internet stranger? But this guy is the goods in my opinion, he's worth a listen and I hope at least one person checks him out.

There's not such a massive difference between where we are now and where we need to be to disconnect from fossil fuels

• More meals will be vegetarian
• Food selection will be more seasonal and local
• More people will work from home or take public transit or bike
• More people will have kitchen gardens
• More farmers will use permaculture techniques to reduce input fertilizer needs
• More humanure will be collected and used as fertilizer
• More solar panels will produce more power for home heat pumps to keep buildings comfortable
• More farmers will have electric tractors and farm batteries

Matt Damon found a way to make fertilizer on Mars.

Watch the oceans and waterways heal a little before finding a new way to ruin them.

We can make fuel from air using the Fischer-Tropsch Process. It's basically the "bad guy reaction" that countries use when the world cuts them out of the oil supply. Like Germany during ww2.

But for a more hopeful take. Maybe we will be less reliant on gas. And there's plenty of stuff we can use as fertilizer

When are we going to run out of gas and fertilizer?

Probably gonna be a lot of days where I warm rooms with the space heaters rather than run the boiler looking at the cost of fuel. Tbh the super El Niño might be a blessing in disguise for many folks in colder climates this year. Drive a lot less (my kind admin transferred me to 3 minutes from my house) and cut down on non-essentials. Teaching the kids about waste, eating all our leftovers, etc.

Might have to go vegan and reduce the amount of resources needed to support a person to a sustainable level. Scary stuff

Before it goes down to absolutely nothing, it will have declined for so long that you already know the answer.

Which, unless you use gas and fertilizer directly, will be "shit's getting more expensive" - some of which prohibitively so, and alternative products/solutions will be deployed.

BTW, crops do grow without fertilizer. Which comes from many places btw. May I introduce Western Sahara, a humanitarian and alround ethical desaster not many people talk about.

And gas? You mean for heating or cooling or simply energy? Same answer, basically.

And who is "we"? The fediverse? Some country? The whole world?

Starve

make it from biogas? we can already synthesise basically every oil-based product from non-fossil means, it's just more expensive.

There are many ways to fertilise soil and many ways to create energy.

This. We need to prepare for a world where we will be spending the bulk of our income on basic commodities that are currently still cheap.

Light shit on fire

Hurt each other and steal.

Competition to secure critical resources is one of the major driving factors in conflict. So we will probably a lot more wars breaking out and some borders shifting. Especially with the cost of war being lower than ever.

Governments around the world will need to increase taxes and borrow then spend to keep people employed and afloat. A lot of places were in a bad spot before so idk what they'll do. Im not enjoying living in such interesting times thats for sure.

Suffer.
