Firstly, it will badly become a punching bag for the conservatives and #7, as they are more eagerly perceptive of resource limitations.
Excuse me, who are the people who are perceptive of resource limitations? Do you class the global green movement among the conservatives?
Conservatives are generally in deep denial about resource limitations, or they pretend to be (global warming denialists are rarely liberals, for example). They consider that the commons (fossil fuels, fish in the sea, an unpolluted environment) are theirs for the grabbing, and eagerly exploit them for individual profit, while the negative consequences are denied (and become a collective responsibility, that only liberals care about).
Resource limitations are real. Scarcity is both the result of confiscation, and of mismanagement by the confiscators, who don't care about optimising the global outcome as long as they get their share. It is rightly acknowledged that people of faith have no monopoly of virtue - Queen Elizabeth II
