That's silly, there are more than 6 billion of us now, and we are pretty smart and tough; there will still be people in 100 years.
The question is how are we going to live in 100 years, how will our technological civilization survive with the challenges of millions of refugees from rising sea-levels, resource depletion and over-population?
Will our descendants be enjoying good health, long life, good food and the comforts of technological civilization or will they be scrabbling in the dirt and fighting over the food and water that is left?
I think the better question is:
"How will technological civilization survive the next 100 years?"
My money is on the development of molecular nanotechnology.
