The fact is actually that it will affect us in this present lifetime. The resources will not 'run out' per se, but what will affect everyone is 'peak oil'. Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of production enters terminal decline. This relates to global extraction which some researchers in the oil and sciences industries have estimated are happening from either currently or within the next 5-15 years.
