When do you think we will have flying cars?

You're correct, the local environmental conditions are superior to how they had been. Currently the number of visibly toxic cities is much lower than it once was. We have made huge strives. The human population has also almost doubled since 1960/1970, which mrans each persons seemingly minor actions will have a much larger effect than before. While we do have greatly superior ways of generating electricity, steal, heat, etc than we once did, we also consume a much larger amount of these resources than we once did.

So while we may well have dropped the amount of toxic chemicals and greenhouse gases we are pumping into the environment, it really hasn't been drastic enough to allow the globe to heal.

Again, I view the situation as less than 100 years, we may have it pretty nice for the first 50 years of that, but the escalation will ultimately be severe unless things are done to mitigate the problem within that span, and that's the problem, not reducing the escalation of the problem, that we need to handle much sooner, and need to do to a much greater degree than we have.

Edit: Also correct, it is likely we will find a way to solve the problem within that span of time. But we may not handle the problem in time. We'll see.

But I still don't think we'll end up with flying cars

But the flying cars would help solve the problem. The population would plummet.
