The *boom* we are talking about is done by exploiting the environmental resources in highly unsustainable manner. We are already facing shortages of all kinds - be it petrol, minerals, wood etc. Add to it the negative effect such as global warming, pollution etc... you will realize we have reached the tipping point already. Give it maybe 20 more years... there will only environmental bomb, no boom anywhere.
So start saying your prayers no itself that you can enjoy basic clean water, air and have food on the table.
