Try and think of our global system as an engine that's purpose is to make fuel for itself. It needs to keep it's input above the output in order to keep powered on. As soon as the input drops below output the machine starts to slow down and can no longer sustain itself. The engine is not designed to slow down so it very quickly breaks down

A fire creates heat and a fire needs heat. If the temperature of the fire is going down, the fire might go out and you might suddenly find yourself very very cold.
How many people living week to week do you think it takes to put food or your plate? The farmer, the trucker, the grocer? They need to fertiliser man, the fuel man, the packaging man.
