A British think tank has already planned your future....
This document presents our future history, through 2030. It includes how you will
think, what you will eat, what work you will do, how you will vacation, how gov'ts will react to various crises (already predicted), how you will have children, etc.

Climate Futures: Response to Climate Change in 2030
Date: 13 Oct 2008
http://www.forumforthefuture.org/projects/climate-futures
Climate Futures analyses the social, political, economic and psychological consequences of climate change and describes how different global responses to the problem could lead to five very different worlds by 2030.
Here are a few snippets....
Licences are required to have children in some countries and awarded
on a points system; climate-friendly behaviour earns extra points.
Governments have banned personal car ownership and forced citizens
to replace convector ovens with microwaves. Kettles and washing
machines are automatically switched off when households exceed
their energy quotas.
Refugees from Bangladesh and the Pacific make up 18 per cent of New
Zealand’s population. Others are being relocated to permanent
settlements on the Antarctic Peninsula, which is projected to have a
population of 3.5 million by 2040.
In some countries it is a crime to publicly question the existence
of man-made climate change.
The oil price broke $400/barrel in 2022, making shipping and aviation
prohibitively expensive, and leading to a collapse in international trade.
The History of the World....
2009 The new US president declares a commitment to dealing with climate change but promises to protect the American way of life.
2010 An artificial replacement for paper is developed in China.
2011 China connects its ‘last village’ to the internet and the state broadcasts a celebratory message to 1.3 billion people.
2012 The IPCC’s fifth assessment report is published, showing that the planet is on an accelerating trend towards dangerous climate change.
2013 A new international agreement on tackling climate change is signed, including the US, China and India.
2014 An affordable battery-powered car leads the Indian auto-market.
2015 A Chinese travel firm announces that bookings for its virtual-reality ‘Bubble Park Holidays at Home’ are selling as fast as overseas holidays.
2016 As California declares that carbon emissions have been reduced to 2000 levels, the governor announces that every citizen has access to high
performance car batteries along the state's major highways.
2017 China signs an international agreement to collaborate on large-scale geo-engineering projects with the US and Europe.
2018 Extinction of the Bengali tiger in the wild.
2019 The G10 meets in Recife and recommits to tackling climate change. Market forces are the primary means of moving activity towards a low-carbon
economy; growth becomes increasingly carbon-proof.
2020 Global greenhouse gas emissions flat-line.
2021 A US company claims it has used microwave energy from a satellite to successfully deflect the path of a hurricane off the coast of Florida. Three weeks later, a Chinese firm announces that it has used biodegradable oil slick on the surface of the China sea to ‘sap the energy’ from a typhoon.
And there's more...
Conflicts over water have triggered devastating bio-chemical warfare in the Middle East and Africa. Soldiers fighting for nations and businesses are waging war over new sources of oil, gas and gold in the melting North-West passage.
Morocco has been invited to join the EU in exchange for exclusive access to solar energy supplies for Member States through to 2050.
Cyber-terrorists target businesses from safe havens in collapsed states
and a series of massive data thefts has bankrupted two multinationals.
Criminals levy ‘taxes’ in European cities in return for protection from
attack by rival gangs.
New diseases and pandemics, incubated by a warmer world, force
the closure of borders.
AsiaNet is firmly established as a faster, cheaper, more reliable
alternative to the ‘American Web’.
