3rd International Workshop and Conference on Earth Resources Technology "Stepping towards sustainable geo-resources utilization and development". 13-14 May 2009. Hokkaido University Conference Hall, Sapporo, Japan.

Problems against the human beings to survive for the coming 100 years were deliberately investigated. It was clarified that most of such problems as exhaustion of resources, food crises etc. could be solved by preventing population increase in less developed countries. A way to ethically do it for more developed countries is to financially help less developed countries industrialized. It was also clarified that efforts to mitigate temperature rise by reduction of anthropogenic CO2 emission will result in unbearable economic loss or, on the contrary, economic growth, more CO2 emission and more fossil energy consumption depending on assumptions. The unnecessary efforts, anyway, should be immediately stopped and the efforts for population stabilization and other important issues should be urgently begun.
