The Earth in 100 Years


Where will we be as a civilization or a race of human beings in 100 years?
I believe that there will be a World War III over fresh water. The rain is no longer good in many places in the world because the pollution has turned the rain into acid rain and it is dangerous to drink. Oil is something we can live without (whether we believe that or not), but water is a necessity to live, and if its availability is jeopardized, there could be a problem.

The population will also be even more out of hand. Today, the number of people on this Earth exceeds the number of people who have ever died in the history of our world. That's a lot of damn people. And the numbers are growing. Is it possible for all countries to enact a law similar to China's law about having children? Being if a son is born, you can have two kids but if a daughter is born you can only have one kid. Then we would all feel like our rights are being violated.

And what if the environment becomes so incredibly terrible it becomes against the law to not recycle and you must pay a very large fine for littering or throwing trash around outside. I hope  people would want to recycle and not want to litter, but that is not human nature sometimes. Then people would again feel like their rights are being violated.

So then what would be the solution to all of these issues?
No idea, but I sure wouldn't want to be the President right now.
