Hot. Heat waves. Forest fires. Sea level rising. Floods. Droughts. Water shortages. Extinction of various animals and plants. Collapse of supply chains and resource shortages. Rising nationalism and distrust. Mass migration, mass starvation, mass casualty events.

Some arid wasteland after societal collapse caused by climate changes

I don’t know why anyone thinks flying cars are remotely a good idea. Between mechanical issues and shitty drivers you’ll end up with missiles crashing into people’s roofs all day.

I’ll be long gone and I have no kids by choice. Hopefully the human race will be extinct and the planet can recover.

The way the world is going, it will easily be Cyberpunk.

I think that it will be more or less the same, but with more extreme weather and increased military conflict over resources. People will have their devices, corporations will have people working, bad governments will continue to strip wealth away from their citizens. Somehow, I think Norway will be fine, though I am not sure why.

Very bleak. I see it going one of two ways, with neither being happy. Like today as well as historically, the most devious and cutthroat people make it to the top.

The first way things could play out is if the rich elites are forcefully kicked out of power and their resources are up for the taking. There’s no way this can happen though until the middle/ lower class are pushed to their breaking point. Climate change will have led to the desertification of a lot of habitable land as well as the biodiversity crisis will have wiped out most pollinators making food production difficult. This would essentially be societal collapse, which means new devious cutthroat people will become something of warlords of small regions. Something like Mad Max

The second way is if the rich elites continually find a way to consolidate power until we hit something of a sci-fi capitalism dystopia. Corporations and the rich will have so much power, personal armies, and influence that they act as nation states. They will do whatever it takes to hold onto their power and keep the rest of the people as poor, powerless, and exploited as possible while they sit in their ivory towers.

Giant ugly concrete buildings with tubes connecting them because it’s too hot to go outside. Children haven’t ever seen the sky except for in photographs. There are vents everywhere to keep the buildings cool, but it’s still hot. The majority of social interaction will happen over the internet because everyone is isolated into their own “apartments”. Thankfully, due to the mass pushback against billionaires hoarding wealth, everything will be cheaper. Everything gets delivered by AI robots/drones to families through amazon or some other delivery conglomerate, there is no in-person shopping. This includes things like groceries.

I really hope it doesn’t end up like this, but based on how things are going, that’s my unfortunate expectations for the future.

Man, I’m holding hope for mole people.

I’m not sure there will be life on earth in 100 years.

I fear we’re going the idiocracy route. Lower and lower intelligence of the population in general.

Extreme longevity and good health, atomic precise manufacturing, if the climat didn’t go to shit we’d be quite well off IMO.

A full SolarPunk utopia ! The climate change is there by we are adapting to it. People are now living in community that still have a relatively advanced level of technology but they are focused on being substainable. However for most of the daily life the technology used is mostly low tech.

The concept of nature died with the ancient world. Because now everything is nature, the conceptual separation between nature and civilisation collapsed. Now cities, communities and fields or forest are interlaced, rather than exploiting their environnement societies are nurturing it. The food is local, there is a few electric trucks transportation is mostly done by bike and cargo bike. Everything is repairable, most of the energy is produced locally with renewables energy.

Overall we might have lost some material comfort but gained on the quality of life.

I know it’s an utopia, I can’t be sure that it’s gonna happen but the one thing I can be sure it’s that if we don’t try it’s never gonna happen. I believe that or current thermo-industrial civilization started to collapse but I believe that we can still have some very happy lives after that.

Crowded. But KSP2 might be out of beta.

No real way to know. If we assume technology keeps advancing at the exponential rate, we’ll all be in the metaverse or bionic cyborgs or something. 100 years ago we had just finished WW1 where airplanes and tanks were a new technology. We went from telegraphs to near- instantaneous communications across the planet. We went from the old Fords to having self-driving cars. The internet was created and then eventually popularized and now we all have constant access to the internet in our pockets no matter where we go.

There are some things we can know for certain and others we can guesstimate. For example carbon emissions will have a noticeable impact in 100 years. The temperatures will be higher, there would have been some amount of sea level. Probably not enough to drown Miami but enough to cause serious problems for people all across the world. Our agricultural systems will be put under serious pressure as temperatures change and lower productivity in certain areas (and increase it in others).

I think the future will be good for countries like Canada / Sweden / Russia because global warming will more or less only help them. A lot of land will become better for agriculture / more habitable. Of course they will probably have to deal with some sort of refugee crisis from the global south.

That’s of course assuming human society doesn’t totally collapse / change because of nuclear war / some sort of terminator AI.
