>("glaciers will be gone by 2020" LOL)

They're largely gone already.

And speaking of LOLing at failed predictions, do you know how many decades ago "too cheap to meter" electricity you've mentioned has been promised?

>Biodiversity might be a problem, but as with the above, I'm certain we'll be able to solve it.

Of course. With wishful thinking, anything is possible.

To sum up, technology will magically fix all the mess that growth and technology has created. Anything as long as we can have our cake and eat it too, and never make any sacrifice.

Even Alcubierre engines, so we can go and fetch resources from the Galaxy!
