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.

The year is 2040. This year has undergone major life changes. They have invented a cure for cancer and so people live a normal and spontaneous life. The death rate has been reduced because our health service is very well trained and more experienced. The robots that were being bitten have thankfully been rejected but allowed to assist at least as far as the consilia are concerned. It's an incredible feeling to live your life to the fullest and die of old age. Everywhere in the world is peace. People love each other, help each other as much as they can. We are again self-supporting everything that we as a country grow or build is ours and we do not sell to third countries unnecessarily. I also want to point out that the labor absenteeism is low. People work and receive from the state for this support premiums and various benefits such as irreversible positions, housing, stable work, etc... We have been so kind to our nature that everything has returned to normal .. we have 4 seasons again. It's a great feeling.

The world is green again after the imposition of the Special Order on the Search and Seizure of the World's Territory. More noise is contributing to better air quality, more mentally stable people and a shift of some of the endangered species to a group of non-endangered ones.

Zelena budućnost
I'm staying in a bright, energy-efficient building in the heart of Barcelona. The city is electric this morning, but most people use public transport or bicycles. I open my vision and breathe in fresh air - something that was not possible twenty years ago, when the roads were choked with traffic and the air was fogged with exhaust fumes. When I walk through the business, I crawl through a park that has never been a car park. For the last twenty-five years, European castles have been transformed - concrete surfaces have been replaced by green oases, and renewable energy has taken over. The radar is shorter, and the joy of cooking has become the norm, giving people more leisure time. In the evening, I eat with friends on the terrace of a small restaurant, drink wine from the local organic vineyard and enjoy a quiet evening. Europe has not turned into a science-fiction world, or has become greener, more truthful and more liveable.

Hello! What I imagine for the EU in a good way is this: I hope that there will be more control over the subsidies with which we are supposed to improve the different sectors in the different countries. With adequate absorption, before 2040 we would have more opportunities in the various projects. In 2040 we will have found a solution to the climate problem (I do not know what, I am not going to make it up), we will be greener and more relaxed about our future. I really hope my son doesn't have to take out loans until retirement like I do now, so some adequate regulations will be ok. Merci
