At some point or another, Earth is not going to be in great shape for life as we know it.
But that point is most-likely to be well down the line. The most-potentially-immediate threats, like asteroid defense, are something that we’re doing.
And some perspective on time is nice. If we make it that far without problems, we’re probably going to be able to solve a lot of problems a lot more capably than we are today.
About 66 million years ago, our ancestors looked like this:
If one assumes that our descendants, 66 million years hence, are at least as far removed from our present-day selves as great-grandaddy here is, hopefully they will be able to solve a lot of problems that we are not presently equipped to solve. I’m generally not a fan of kicking the can down the road on problems, but I think that in this case, we can probably have some faith in those who are to come.
