The Greenhouse Effect is the only serious problem today.

The CO2 will not return to Y1900 levels without extraction.

It’s a “residual problem; electronics is organic,Air engine generates O2 as only by-product.

Environmental Environmental

Cities on rivers near ocean have lock & dam system.

The first was completed in 2020 on the Thames.

Almost no glaciers – all gone by 2100.

Some sea coast cities have been abandoned.

•No Boston as we knew it.

•Battle for New Orleans was lost

Last remaining glazier – almost gone

WaterWater• 2050: 10 to 40% increases in runoff in eastern Africa, high latitude North America and Eurasia.

• Decreases of 10 - 30 % in runoff in southern Africa, southern Europe, the Middle East and mid-latitude western North America.

• California - not enough dam capacity to hold a seasonal water. Less snow and earlier snow-derived water run-off in the spring challenging the capacities of existing water reservoirs with water shortages.

• Canada - earlier spring water runoff will threaten agricultural production in the Canadian Prairies

• Europe - climate warming in the Rhine River Basin may reduce peak-demand water availability for industrial applications, agriculture and household uses. Ship transportation, flood protection, hydropower generation are threatened.

• Asia - most risk from retreating glaciers. China, India and other parts of Asia will be particularly impacted due to their high populations and the fact that the ice mass in the mountainous area of this region is the third largest on Earth.

• Asia and South America are headed for a water supply crisis.

Weather ControlWeather ControlPeople have been trying to change weather for centuries, and maybe longer.

In 2015, a rainmaker, with 12 jet engines, succeeded in forming rain clouds by blowing moist sea air into the sky.

In 2022, barges in the Caribbean, used the same jet engine principle, succeeded in forming to draw power away from hurricanes.

In 2055, weather control has made some progress but hurricanes, typhoons and tornadoes may still occur.

• The factory is the “farm”

• No ranches or dairy farms

The Population ProblemThe Population Problem

EUTHANASIA has become socially acceptable.

RISING SEA brought changes in habitat & agriculture to create 100’s of millions of environmental refugees

7.1 billion by the year 2015

Now at 9.7 billion in 20556.4 billion in 2004

Disease is rare in the rich countries….But self-selected and violent deaths make up 45% of mortality figures

The Africa battle was long and terrible
