  The correct answer to this is "all of the above." The fundamental challenge being virtually ignored by almost all governments and most non-profits in the environmental movement is the challenge to responsibly reduce world human populations to sustainable levels. The sooner we start on this as a species the greater liklihood that we will still be around by 2108. The Chinese "one child per family" policy has been the basis for much of their economic success in a very overpopulated portion of the planet, but even that strategy if applied world wide may not produce the required levels of population decline in the face of rising consumption expectations.
