What could happen in the future if people continue to use fossil fuels at the same rate as today?

Obviously, we could run out of petroleum and fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal, oil shale) and have to develop different types of fuels - such as hydrogen and biogas - and new materials to replace the plastics and synthetics which are now made from oil.
Although energy use can be scaled back, the likelihood is that demand will stay at least as high as it is now, although with more efficient use.
