There can be various ways to approach this: - We are collapsing but it is not the dramatic collapse everyone is expecting it to be. If population "slowly" declines consistently, eventually, there will be too few people. If you have a 2 million year graph, this era will look like a sharp spike for a very short time. - We are adapting but fracking prevented that from happening in the West and other places. Because China didn't have that luxury, they had to push through solar energy. This provides hope that the exponential growth will continue as energy is abundant around us. So there you have it. I can see arguments to each side of the coin and am not sure which way it'll play.
