Anybody can extrapolate a graph! Truth is, as high prices caused a record UK crop, new supplies are likely to come on line.

And remember, consumption will fall. I personally believe that, post dot.com crash, that the world has been in a real depression, us living off a false fiat boom, and that real productivity has fell, that in real terms we have been in a recession. You can tell that, with how the quality of our products have fallen drastically as we suck imports from China. I think that is the real reason for the plateaux in production since 2000.

Drewster,
Interesting but depressing contribution. I'm taking it upon trust that you do not have shares in companies that sell rope, razors, bottles of whisky or firearms?
Seriously, a decline in living standards seems to be inevitable in the future. I cannot see any way we will be able to make our habitations and workplaces energy efficient enough to deal with this projected problem.
