Summary

This quote suggests that there is a race occurring between the growing human population and the availability of natural resources. The limited supply of resources combined with the increasing number of people poses a challenge. The quote implies that, as time passes, the demand for resources increases, making it harder for the human population to sustain its needs. Consequently, it implies that our continued existence and well-being are at risk if we do not address the issue of resource management and sustainability in a timely manner.
