If we don’t, the world will become overcrowded and increased energy consumption will turn the planet into a ball of fire because of our soaring energy consumption as the population rises. I don't know if Hawking is right or not, but I have observed that most (secular) predictions about the future assume that a current trend will continue indefinitely at the same rate without any mitigating factor to oppose it, and because of this omission, they usually turn out to be wrong. It's sort of like observing the rise in temperature between sunrise and noon, and predicting that by midnight, the ambient air temperature will be 150 F.
