Beause of the above factors, I sometimes ask a question to myself: "If all the things including human being are doomed to be annihilated in the future, is there still any value of surviving? (I don\'t mean you should go to hell immediately!)
*************************************
my opinion is, the world is toward to a better place, but still has room to improve and many challenges to tackle.
look back the previous 100 years or 200 years, think about it, the world is.... more or less like hell. (i mean for human, not for the nature)
first, the living quality and quantity, were great improved. imagine you are living in 100 years ago. you cannot choose what you like to do, if you are growth up in a farming family, you must be a farmer when you grow up. the government only give you a right to live, but not guarantee you live healthy! in the middle of 20th country, there are great inflation. now a day, our economic growth steady, thank you economists.

yes, i agree, that pollution is the most urgent problems. well instead of regret what we've done, how about use our brain to re-create the world again, just like the Soviet Union (it is a good try ever in human society, when Lenin can make people believe private property is guilty, i cannot imagine how "impossible" can be found in dictionary.) there is many new technology innovation happen to make our world jump across the pollution. there is a first wind power cargo ship, Beluga SkySails. Toshiba just promote a micro nuclear plan for industry and public estate. California plan to use wave power. New solar cell, Nanosolar. MARS( Magenn Air Rotor System ) is close to commercial usage. in British, they just propose a plan to make 2% power from wind. the world is getting better and better.
Ok, there is only 1/3 of people living in developed countries and start to embrace the earth friendly energy sources and politic, 1/3 in China and India just started there engines to move toward industrial age. and the rest, mostly in Africa and South America, people are finding other way out. like Brazil, they use crop to feed their car.
all in all, the world become better is base on Adam smith, the writer of wealth of nation. when the global trading become more and more, the free moving market will drive us to a better place. the polluted nations will be affected by others, (look at the Beijing Olympic 2008, global concern very much on the air quality, this make china government concern too) .the poor countries will be helped by the rich, (see the WTO effort in the past decade, they do made thing better!!! although little) the Adam Smith's invisible hand is rolling our world to a better place.
beside the progress toward Utopia, human still struggle with the idea of "Nation" "Religion" and "lack concern of the nature"
i think, in the next century, human will be great concern of the nature first, than The Broken of Religion, and finally there is only 1 nation, the earth.
now, with the climate change rapidly, and change our living style so great. we have forced to facing the problem, in European, the new generation is learning and practicing how to recycle, reuse and replace.
later, since the technology and science, mainly on neuroscience and psychology, we will know ourself and know how to live happier, found out our meaning for living. Religion will absorpted into Philosophy and history.
finally, by the global trading, the broader of Nations will be vanish. we can look back european union history.
"If all the things including human being are doomed to be annihilated in the future, is there still any value of surviving?"
my answer is, this question does not make any sense for me. cos live should move forward. by the way, if the human society are doomed, like the movie "i ma legend" i think i have no meaning to survive, (that's why i use facebook, i need to make connection with friend) if the scenario is like "the world after tmr" only little group of people survived. there is still motivation to live! for the others, for the future. ok, i should feed me-self fat before the climate suddenly go bad.
