"Get your ticket To that wheel in space while there's time. The fix is in-- You'll be a witness To that game of chance in the sky. You know we've got to win..." -lyrics from "I.G.Y." by Donald Fagen
I don't think faith in the future is enough. Yes, there are definitely technologies in the pipeline that will be important in solving global problems, but since we don't know what they'll be or how much they'll be able to cope with, it's foolish not to do the best we can with what we've currently got to limit the scope of crises such as the climate crisis, to give the future the best possible fighting chance.

To that wheel in space while there's time.
The fix is in--
You'll be a witness
To that game of chance in the sky.
You know we've got to win..."
