What will happen when peak phosphorus is reached?

Asked by HungryGuy (16039points) February 17th, 2012

We’re all concerned about having reached peak oil, but what about peak phosphorus? Phosphorus is an element that is essential to life itself, and some people think we’re close to peak phosphorus in a few years, even though it’s not getting the press attention that peak oil is getting. When the phosphorus runs out, life itself will cease to be possible. Woe is me. What can we do?
