The papers discusses the effect of demography on world communication, the effect of Food on world security, the effect of the natural environment on food supplies, the effect of energy supplies on world security and finally the effect of technology on the natural environment. In the spirit of full disclosure, the author of the paper would like to confess that he is a bit of a pessimist and this will be reflected in his writing. Nature is cyclical and since humans are part of nature, we also behave in a cyclical fashion; we make extreme, shortsighted, and self-serving decisions only to realize that we were wrong and spend much more time and resources fixing the mistake than it took to make it in the first place. Therefore, excuse us if this seems to be a recurrent theme throughout the paper.
