Having some environmental studies behind me, the chapter headings just recall for me stuff that's been out there for quite some time, but which doesn't get anything neat the attention these issues warrant, unfortunately. In summation, I think we're gone within 200 years based purely on resource exhaustion, maybe well before owing to political factors (war). Very sad, we could take care of mother Earth if so inclined, but those in power have a very different, and short term, agenda.

I read Jared Diamond's book Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, and it was excellent. I highly recommend it.
