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.

“We did it for the shareholders”
It’s 2040, AGI to most jobs and climate change destroyed a large part of the world. There is a huge income gap, poverty increased significantly due to people losing their jobs because of AI. Also, thanks to climate change, nature is very weak which results in difficulty to key crops grow.

En dag i framtidens Europa – År 2040
A Day in the Europe of the Future - Year 2040 The sun rises over a green city where tall trees line the streets and solar panels cover the roofs of both old and new buildings. I step out the door and see that the sidewalk is filled with people and dogs, all on their way to today's adventure. By 2040, Europe is a place where nature and technology work together to create a sustainable and harmonious world. Since 2025, major changes have taken place. Fossil fuels are almost completely gone, and means of transport are powered by renewable energy. Smart bike paths and electric trains have made it easy to travel between countries, and I can cycle smoothly from Uddebo to Denmark without having to worry about dangerous car roads. Windbreaks and small eco-buildings can be found along the way for travelling outdoor enthusiasts and their four-legged friends. Dog ownership has also changed. Thanks to better training and accessible training, dogs are now welcome in more places, and public spaces are adapted for both humans and animals. The dog care profession has become an established and respected profession, and I work to educate both dogs and their owners to create better relationships and understanding. In this future, we have taken care of our planet, our animals and each other. Life feels freer, simpler and more sustainable – just like I always dreamed of.

We have managed to create an interaction between our eco system, so the wind turbines create the backdrop in our part of the world and our air is clean - we collect and recycle our waste for the benefit of our children. We live and have respect for other people, regardless of faith, color or background. We live this respect and do not accept anyone breaking these basic rules for each other. Crimes will not be accepted.
