Worse for most, good for few

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

As world hasn't gotten into an agreement about changes regarding the climate change the world has gotten much warmer. Population has either started shrinking in areas that are no longer easily habitable or started moving towards better areas which are now getting crowded.
This of course affects health and wellbeing of the population.
Technology/science rushes forwards with the possibility to live off planet sooner rather than later it seems that the option is only for the most wealthy. It is true that technological breakthroughs could also make lives easier and better but at what cost? There are always those who'd profit which in turn makes benefiting from said progress expensive for everyone. Working definitely might change with automatic/remote controlled robots or such. But still the lower classes would'nt have that luxory.

Notes about the quiestionaire. The given/estimated 5 minutes is nowhere near enough time to collect thoughts/visions about possible future. Also there was no option to decline after clicking the link in email as there usually is.

La paix dans le monde
I'd like to see world peace in 2040, where people can travel and emigrate freely. To achieve this, we need to put an end to dictatorships, the desire to conquer territories, power and material domination, and live in peaceful, intelligent communities.

DANS 15 ANS SUR CETTE TERRE
it will be 15 years from now. it seems to me that this future is close and uncertain. the great leaders of certain countries have delusions of grandeur, and if they succeed in obtaining a result, it's the ordinary citizen who will suffer the consequences of their very personal ambitions. Our earth could become uninhabitable due to climate change and its consequences, and humans will destroy themselves.

The collaps of Green Deal economy saves the Nature and European civilization
After huge pressure from un-corrupted scientists, reasonable environment protection groups and indigenous people of EU, EU leaders realized in 2025 that the construction of huge wind generators and solar parks at the expense of wildlife destruction is not sustainable and stopped this industrial scale activity. Only small (and low) wind generators and solar parks directly near the point of consumption are allowed, as particularly great destruction of nature resulted not only from the parks themselves, but also from the construction of new power lines to the scattered wind and solar parks in the natural landscape. Immigration has stopped, as there is not enough energy to heat living quarters and people from warmer parts of the world prefer North Africa to Europe. Additionally, as EU economy collapsed in 2028 due to wrong energy policies, there is no resources to offer social aid for immigrants who do not work. Without social aid money and worm living space there is no incentive to move to Europe. Declining population and real nature protection, with small local energy production from wind, solar, hydro and biogas from waste, cities are declining and rural population is growing. Cities did not have enough place to produce enough energy and so people started to move to smaller towns.The environment is gradually recovering from the damages caused to it by the green turn, food is healthier and produced 90% locally. World wide transportation is so expensive that only very rich can allow to eat bananas and drink coffee.

El futuro es poder vivir el pasado
My future is in freedom. We will be able to enjoy again a campfire under the stars, next to a river with crystal clear water, without artificial clouds in the sky and under a tent where besides the sound of water we will be able to listen to the richness of the forest with its variety of sounds, a woodpecker, a blackbird, the wind sliding through the leaves... And when we wake up and go outside the day will be beautiful, with a warm early morning sun and the vultures will fly over our heads and all that I will see from the hand of my granddaughter. The world will return to the original sanity where what was important was what was important.
