As a species, I don't think that we are running out of town per se, but there is an increasing risk that our big plans for the future - ie. technological bliss - are going to be significantly derailed due to climate change and other factors.

Yeah, it's nice that world governments are paying lip-service to reducing emissions but it's not going to change a damn thing unless we get our consumption under control. The problem with that is we've been fed the belief that we're not only are we entitled to consume, we're obligated to.
