10 years:
- Increasing disruption caused by climate change. Extreme weather events, environmental refugees, conflicts over water, famine.
- Antibiotics becoming increasingly ineffective
- Living in a massively connected world. Emergent diseases, trans-national political movements, terrorism, weakened states pushed to the point of collapse.
50 years:
- Severe disruption caused by climate change. Large-scale movement of people and animals from uninhabitable areas, frequent resource conflicts.
- Food shortages caused by habitat depletion. Famine and death. Breakdown of international trade.
- Pressure towards authoritarian government systems as a response to the above. Fascism, militarism, large-scale conflict.
100 years: No idea. Singularity? Aliens arrive?
