The only problem is that his solutions go against every natural human law I have yet seen. Unless someone engineers humans to want less and to lose their desire to procreate I see absolutely zer0 possibilities that we will avert global disaster without massive infusions of every kind of technology. Many see the world's population doubling in the next 50-60 years. Manufactured food, purified recycled water, radically cleaner energy and disease resistant everything will be paramount to our survival. It is my fear that social and political justice will be luxuries we can no longer afford. Environmental issue will likely only look as far as the sustainability of production as opposed to any kind of reestablishment of the natural order (much to my displeasure).

One of the bonuses of this way of thinking would be the cessation of 'manufactured pseudo diseases' - menopause, aging and balding being the three that spring to mind first.
