NASA funded study: Industrial Civilization Headed for Irreversible Collapse

Does anyone actually believe that we are educating today's children and young adults for the world that they will inherit?

A number of studies "have warned that the convergence of food, water and energy crises could create a 'perfect storm' within about fifteen years." here
KPMG Study: "By 2030, significant changes in global production and consumption, along with the cumulative effects of climate change, are expected to create further stress on already limited global resources. Stress on the supply of these resources directly impacts the ability of governments to deliver on their core policy pillars of economic prosperity, security, social cohesion and environmental sustainability."

The UK Government Office of Science warns that:
It is predicted that by 2030 the world will need to produce 50 per cent more food and energy, together with 30 per cent more available fresh water, whilst mitigating and adapting to climate change. This threatens to create a ‘perfect storm’ of global events.
The Guardian reports that:
"A new study sponsored by Nasa's Goddard Space Flight Center has highlighted the prospect that global industrial civilisation could collapse in coming decades due to unsustainable resource exploitation and increasingly unequal wealth distribution."
