Even if all the rain in all the world fell in one hour every year in bolivia, it'd be a hassle but we'd cope. We'd just adapt the irrigation and water transportation methods to get the water to the rest of the world and pay the bolivians through the arse for the priviledge. Substitute water for oil in my analogy. The oil price has increased due to various factors, cartels, demand etc but the western economies over the last 30 years haven't got worse.
