carbon-constrained world with a carbon budget beyond which the irreversible catastrophic impacts of global warming may not be avoidable. To have a 50% chance of staying below 20C of global warming, 62% of fossil fuels proven reserves, and 88% of coal reserves must stay in the ground. Huge new fossil fuel developments, like the Galilee Basin in Australia, the tar sands in Canada and new resources in the Arctic, cannot be developed.

Exporting Countries (OPEC) initiated an embargo against the United States and other countries that supported Israel. This embargo banned petroleum exports to certain countries, introduced cuts in oil production, and had a drastic effect on the U.S. economy (Oil Embargo, 1973–1974). It led to quadrupling oil prices and oil shortages that led to a widespread crisis across the United States and other countries facing the embargo.

designed to support complex life, but it may become uninhabitable within the 21st century if the industrialized world continues with its unsustainable economic model.

Unless a real change is made in our consumerist culture and economic
