Or at least not as bad as some might fear.
That's the main message I took away from last week's State of the Planet conference (though it is also clear that the planet is in a perilous state when it comes to energy, food and global warming.)
But judge for yourself. You can either view the talks here or peruse my notebook style updates:
What is the state of the planet and the people on it?
Kofi Annan: the peacemaker and his green revolution
Do the impoverished need industry?
War recedes, but turns crueler
Why the search for oil will never stop
Beware the military-industrial complex and climate change
Will the U.S. solve the climate change problem?
A memo to the next president
U.S. Will Approve New Nuclear Reactors
Trading greenhouse gas pollution in the U.S.
Man-made trees and shells will save us from climate change
Food versus fuel, or can we have both?
Don't expect the Arctic to be a frozen waste much longer
