I predict that the climate of the world will change, beginning now and continuing until most of the World's population has starved to death.

People will wail and gnash their teeth, but will continue to drive cars, fly away on holiday and forget to unplug the charger on their cellphone, helping only to make the situation worse.

Pictures of malnourished children will be shown on TV and americans will fly food parcels and clothing to the poor.  The poor, for their own part, will conitinue to have children they cannot provide for and the americans will not send sugeons to vasectomise the men.  Eventually, the starvation will reach politicians in developing countries and they, too, will die - but will still fail to understand that it was their own fault.

Greed and desperation will drive people to live in fortresses, holding guns to their neighbours and the postman.  People will live in fear and depression.

With a bit of luck, the mistake that is humankind will completely disappear and the world will heal.  

It's the best we can hope for.

I'm not sure that I agree with this completely. I do believe you are correct that the Earth's climate is changing and it can lead to starvation, but if we can land on the Moon and we can send out scientific equipment to reach the far ends of our Solar System, then there is Hope that we can all pull together and figure out a way to stop this.  This is a very dark and negative way to look at our changing world. I really and truly believe that if you think positively, then positve things will happen. I believe that humans are not as bad as we appear to be, I believe that humans need Redemption and I believe that there are more people who do Good Works then Bad ones. Call me a Dreamer...

I can't remember who said it, however it went something like this "....< War isn't inevitable, peace is inevitable...>." If I recall correctly it was Dennis Kucinich while on "Real Time" with Bill Maher.

Why not? It's Darwinism at it's best...what if not a long journey towards a more perfect balance and fit with the world around us?

So my prediction is this "peace is inevitable".

Your prediction is correct in every way. I see it as you do without using any special powers.

However, I find that even in all of this we as humankind will find a way to survive because we have been doing that for millions of years. That is the basic truth of mankind.

The first steps I have been waiting for has started. There is now a company that will give you free solor cells to put on your roof as long as you pay for any electric you use from it. The rates are locked in for 20 years or more and are set at the currect rate of your utilities now.

The current step that I was really been looking at to confirm the first one is that Wal-Mart now has one store that has this on their roof. If this testing works out, then Wal-Mart of all businesses will become "green."  

Maybe mankind will kill its' self off. However, if business people can find a way to make a buck they are going to. Now going green maybe the way to improve the bottom line.

So, no humans are not going to stop being selfish. That is how we are. However, if the greed can lead to green (money & clean fuels) then maybe mankind will not all die off.

China is building one new coal fired power station a day you opting for a green car or a green anything will make no discernable difference.
The Mount St. Helens eruption pumped out more pollution than we produce in 10 years and their is at least 1 major erutpion every couple of years, get real, the Earth does a damn good job of polluting itself, that is not to say that we can't help; let's get rid of our computers right now and go back to pens and paper, mind you paper uses trees and making ink must invovle some kind of industrial process Hmmmm.
I know know let's all go back to chopping notes on blocks of stone.
Progress is unstoppable.
