I'm not very optimistic about the fate of our species. It seems the more civilized we become, the less humanity we show. Just looking at the violence and suffering of the last 100 years - when we should "know better by now" - it's not too promising. I think the next 100 years will be a crossroads for our descendants - it's make it or break it time.
At least if we can reduce the chances of completely rendering this planet inhabitable for life, we may have a chance. It may involve starting over a few times, but - we'll see (figuratively speaking, of course).
Our biggest obstacle to overcome will be to prioritize what's good for us as a species over what's good for us personally - and I don't know if that's possible.
