Essentially all of these are 100% propaganda.
Trying to calculate where we'll be 100 years from now or even 50 years fro
now involves a huge number of variables, and few of them have much precision
or reliability. It's trivial to start with the conclusion you want - for
example, "we prefer things exactly as we are," or "it's already too late, we
can't fix it," or "nuclear energy is our only hope," or "PV is the only
answer" - and, by taking either the most optimistic or most pessimistic
estimates for each variable, arrive exactly where you want to be.
This is not, of course, how long-term planning should work.
While the past is fixed and cannot be changed; we *do* have some control
over the future. While we cannot predict exact times and dates and
severity of events in the future; we *can* make reasonably accurate
generalized predictions.
A good sailor cannot predict the winds; but he *can* set a course and
maneuver to still get to where he wants to be.
I think the real problem is that our world leaders are incompetent
sailors. They can't read the map of the future, don't understand the
winds of change, and have no clear idea of where they are even heading.
