According to the Treehugger article above, the UN have created a report which is 6300 pages long but foresees an era of prosperity, peace and so on through use of better technology and more communication.

They say it is likely to be derailed by humans with our proclivity to war, violence, inequality and environmental degradation.

So does this mean we are not doomed after all? Do we have a chance to sort ourselves out? Or are we eternally trapped into bad choices by our animal instincts?

A one-page summary of the report is here:-
