Unsustainable energy consumption has humanity locked into a death spiral with nature.

About This Quote

While the idea of death spiral is often used to refer to an economic crisis, this quote is used to refer to the idea that humanity is running out of energy resources at a pace that will eventually lead to mass extinction. The human race has been using fossil fuel to extract energy from natural resources since the industrial revolution. As time goes on, this practice will further deplete natural resources and the environment. Some scientists predict that this could lead humanity to extinction.
