    ...to have lived at the absolute peak of human civilization.

    Within 30 or 40 years, we will no longer have enough helium, phosphorus or oil to maintain our standard. And, except for oil, there are literally no alternatives. And no attempts to reach beyond our planet for future supplies.

    You cannot operate a modern power plant or travel to space without a helium-rich environment shielding your electronics.

    And the worlds population cannot feed itself without phosphorus-rich fertilizers. "Natural" fertilizers cannot meet production needs even by half.

    You now live at the height of humanity.

    Enjoy it.
    In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, 'Make us your slaves, but feed us.'

    If this was the case then why is this issue be dwarfed by the likes of climate change? I only seem to be able to find a handful of up to date news articles relating to helium shortages.

    Because there isn't any political gain from drawing attention to actual problems.

    The only people who care about climate change anymore are professors who need grant money and politicians seeking to get donations from industries associated with alternate energy production.
