Oil (common crude) can be made with a high temperature, high pressure furnace, and common landfill garbage.
If we "run out" of oil to the point of not being able to make plastic, we'll make it ourself.
Of course, that method is not economical (or environmentally friendly) to sustain our "oil economy". Just saying that if we need oil for a specific purpose, its not very difficult to obtain.

I believe all he was saying is that massive starvation and spread of aids on the scale of the doomsday predictions has been taken care of, and Africa is improving (slowly but surely). Its just a matter of education and progress.
Witty signature here...
Wii: 14 million by January I sold myself short
360: 13 million by January I sold microsoft short, but not as bad as Nintendo.
PS3: 6 million by January. If it approaches 8 mil i'll eat crow Mnn Crow is yummy.
With these results, I've determined that I suck at long term predictions, and will not long term predict anything ever again. Thus spaketh Crono.
