There's nothing that guarantees we will reach a stable solution. I am afraid that Elysium-like scenario will be the default if things continue as they are going now.

Actually literally everything in the universe guarantees that we will reach a stable solution. That's how things work. That stable solution may end up killing billions of people but eventually you get a status quo. Systems gravitate towards low energy states.
Also an Elysium like scenario? That movie was a joke and made no sense. If you're gonna believe in science fiction as the model for the future at least go for something that isn't terrible.

Oh, thank goodness, that's a reli...

Uhhhhhh.....
I think we're talking about social systems, not physical ones. A social system in which BILLIONS of people die is not any kind of "stable".
