It does not take into impact running out of resources or environmental troubles caused by stalinist governments/runaway corporations/capitalist nations that don't know abut environmental regulation.

Yes.  Economics are an attempt to gauge mass human behavior at a specific point in history.  Certainly the introduction of new technologies can drastically change an economic model.  Additionally, human beings do not always behave in a rational manner.  So yes, economics is pseudo-science.
