One thing we can be sure of, is that we are in the exponential phases of a lot of things, such as population growth, consumption of some resources, etc. History is full of examples that tell us that exponential phases typically reverse abruptly. It's interesting to think that we might be on the cusp of a reversal, and not be able to decide for ourselves what the reversal will be, and why.
I can understand the debate behind what caused the collapse on Easter Island, but it is odd/sad/ironic that we will probably debate what will lead to our collapse right up to the very moment of it.
