Well, if it doesn't happen in my lifetime, then mankind will certainly be doomed, because I believe we will reach a "tilting point" of no return sometime in the next 20 years. In fact, we may have already reached/passed it. I do think we still have time to turn it around, but if we continue to ignore the problem, and we continue with all the burning of fossil fuels at the same rate we are now (and which will certainly get worse if we do nothing to stop it), then I think the tilting point will pass and humans (and other animals) will be up a creek without a paddle.
