Two thousand forty years. I'm eighty-four now. The world has changed a lot, as have I. All sustainability theories have collapsed, it has been clarified that this was a money laundering and misappropriation, but the collective responsibility of politicians has failed to identify and bring to justice. The wars were kept to a minimum. My health is no longer good, although a breakthrough has been promised in the field of health care, but the promises have not been kept. The new generation, some inactive, apparently consumer activities of life took the top, forty-year-olds are somehow anemic, they do not want to engage in some activities, even entertainment is no longer interested, let alone work. Climate change has not changed, cycles repeat themselves on the principle of the spring, as was already the case in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In Europe, there has been a significant decline in the number of ethnic Europeans, a very large number of Arabs, Asians, Mongol-type ethnoses. Technical progress is stagnating because some limit has already been reached that the human mind can no longer cross, as has been established by Artificial Intelligence. My future is already clear, there is almost no time left, so it remains only to wish those who are moving forward to go beyond all limits and not give in to apathy.

I'm 82 years old, quite chased vision from the use of over-technologies. On the other hand, I have retained my reading skills and will be able to read in front of thirty-year-olds who I will not understand what I have read. It will finally be possible to travel from Riga to Europe by high-speed train. Aggressive Russia will be calmed for a longer time. Latvian will also be used for communication in Latvia. In general, it will not be so bad at all.

Today, 1 January 2040, the sun finally peeps out behind a blanket of dark clouds that for years have darkened the sky, after so many disasters, so many floods, earthquakes and tidal waves, acid rains that have devastated the earth by reducing crops and therefore causing famine and so many deaths, especially children, man has understood that nature must be protected, every single man and woman has done his part, has taken responsibility, has carefully diffracted waste, has recycled, has not wasted water, has stopped polluting seas, rivers lakes, has produced less CO2 and above all has understood that farming intensively is against nature, animals must be respected. Mother Earth is still convalescing but she is on the road to healing and I am confident, man may not be extinct.

I think in 2040 the climate catastrophe got worse. Huge firestorms are now also threatening our major cities in Europe. Furrowable heat waves prevail especially in the summer in southern Europe, where I live with my wife. The so-called floods of the century have become the rule. The Amazon rainforest burns off all of Allien and is no longer a coal storage facility. Our seas are also so warm and acidified that they can hardly absorb CO2. Food prices are rising to unprecedented levels. There is a shooting order at the external borders of the European Union. Violent social upheavals cause internal unrest and violence.
