Justification of upcoming global energy problems

Energy and the level of development of its branches determine the technological level of human development. However, the higher the energy technology level, the higher the anthropogenic impact on the external environment, and the wider the area under human control. In the XXI century, a number of global energy and related environmental problems have emerged, which must be immediately addressed in the next 10-20 years to prevent global and irreversible changes on a planetary scale that await humanity in the near future. In particular, especially during the last 10 years, most mass media actively discuss the problem of global warming, which, according to a number of experts, is caused by changes in the composition of the atmosphere and the destruction of the ozone layer, and which can lead to an increase in the temperature of the planet, followed by the melting of glaciers at the poles and the flooding of a number of territories and even countries. However, this article provides an alternative view of this problem with analytical evidence that this problem not only has nothing to do with the anthropogenic impact on the environment and the impact on the planet's climate in particular, but also in the future will not be able to have a serious impact due to the extremely rapid depletion of resources. The limitation of natural resources, expected in the next 30-50 years, can have a significant impact on the development of civilization as a whole, because with the catastrophically lightningfast depletion of the main fossil fuels in relation to the history of mankind, a fairly rapid, knowledge-intensive and expensive transition to renewable energy sources will be required, for which humanity, as the calculations show, is not ready now, and will not be ready in 20-30 years, when the minerals are almost completely depleted. Therefore, in order to prevent (or mitigate) the energy collapse in the future, intensive development of renewable energy, including with significant state support, is required right now. However, the article explains that humanity has no chance to overcome the complete and timely transition from hydrocarbon energy to alternative energy due to the lack of resources, the point of no return has already been passed.
