What people tend to forget about the future is that humans are VERY adaptable, pragmatic, creative species. Plus the amount of wealth in 100 years from now will be many times more than today (just think wealth in 1909 vs. 2009), so there will be more wealth/resources to pay for future problems with future wealth (just think if you gave people from 1909 the task to put a satellite in orbit within 100 years with their current technology and wealth - it would have seamed impossible to them).
