The explosive, continueing population growth, will overun in a relatively short amount of time, the efforts of humanity to conserve the diminishing resources, on many fronts. The poor, less advantaged peoples of the world, will be dying off en mass, as is the case even now, one example being the current situation in Niger. The ones with power, and money, will find themselves increasingly challenged, and isolated, seeking what refuge they can, from those who will be doing without, on a severe scale, and looking upon the privilaged ones, with great ill will. This is a scenario of great imbalance, which will precipitate great conflict on a world wide scale. Our human tendencies, will carry us past the Rubicon, on so many issues, and then, we will have to respond, to the fallout, we have created by the way we lived and treated, our home, Mother Earth.
