It is true that, contrary to the pessimistic view held by many people that "the end of the world is near", this is actually a golden age for human civilization. It has prospered greatly and the world is better off now than it was before the 20th century. Steven Pinker's work demonstrates this. Of course, hat does not mean it will stay that way. Human-induced climate change will probably lead us into another bad era again.
