I don't trust any of it. I just picked the most obvious, stupid example.

Even if you really believe remaining lead in the earth's crust is truly that scarce, why would we suddenly extract it all? Mining lead is difficult and low-yield. Recycling it is easier. I frankly doubt there's much lead mining going on at all. What lead is still in the ground will sit there indefinitely.
