An interesting news article caught my attention today on Yahoo called "what will happen in 2030?". I found this quite interesting because by that time I will be about 38 years old so I was very curious. In the beginning of the article Oliver Knox starts to highlight that it does not look as if flying cars will be out main focus at this time but instead how terrible our source of water and food will be. Scientists stated "We do not seek to predict the future—which would be an impossible feat—but instead provide a framework for thinking about possible futures and their implications...". I agree with this statement to the extent where we have little to no idea what the future holds for any of us, if we did there would be people trying to take control and change the outcome of others futures. They also calculated the earth to grow and to get as big as 8.3 billion people by that point. Climate change will worsen with wetter areas around the ground to increase getting wetter as well as dry spots becoming more dryer. Overall this article isn't stating facts by any means, it is just one of this articles to look back and just say "what if".
