Summary
The speaker states that it is unlikely for engineering to replace stable environments we are currently destroying in time to prevent catastrophic damage to civilization. He also mentions that the approaching ice age would have wiped out agricultural areas, and our evolution is influenced by the stable period in the overall temperature cycle of the planet.
