That's a fairly unfair characterisation of ecology as a science.
In any case, while it's true that market systems can adapt to changing circumstances via the price system, it's important to note that the shifts can be abrupt and that technological progress needn't be monotonic.
Certain physical limits will exist whether or not they are approached economically, just as certain economic limits exists whether or not they are approached physically.
