Global life expectancy is higher than ever in history, and the number (percentage?) of people living in abject poverty is as low as it's ever been. Both of these things consistently happening will lower infant mortality rates and slow population growth in turn. That then should slow down the burden on natural resources and hopefully slow climate change rates enough to where technology and innovation can catch up.
It's not all bad news.
