Perhaps the only thing that might save humankind now is time-travel?
If we could go back 20 years, shortly before the WTC attack, on 10th September 2001, to launch a UK campaign for a Federal Europe to persuade global-thinking states into developing the United Nations into a genuine world gov. One without any religions.
Then, perhaps only then, humanity could survive another 50 years and manage to reformat 'civilisation' into something more worthwhile than economic growth. 'Growth' that has become a tumour and a deadly threat to peace and prosperity for all.
Lacking any time-travel options means extinction. We have, unfortunately, now strayed too far off the road (of social progress) to a planetary utopia (of grand dreams to pursue, not a final destination).
