You have to remember that people ARE a resource, they make things, they grow things and provide for other people.
I think this is overly optimistic. We're losing as many species on average per year as took place in most of the previous species collapses. A sign of lowered fertility on the planet in general.

The oceans are in deep trouble and I see few signs of them being given a break in most parts of the world any time soon. And there is no escaping the coming fresh water crisis. Already starting.

Optimism is often a good thing but it has to be solidly founded.
