Tom Murphy, an associate professor of physics at UC San Diego, has done the math and concludes "humans have never managed to live sustainably" so it's highly unlikely that we will be able "to find a full-scale replacement for fossil fuels soon enough and sustain it indefinitely."
In other words, before predicting the world will save itself with renewables. do the math
