If you like that column in The Sun, you would probably love this report--which is considerably longer--from Rachel Nuwer in BBC Future. It's from April, so, relatively recent when it was published. I don't know Rachel Nuwer from any other Rachel, myself. This report offers scenarios that involve economic trends and the global stratification of personal wealth, demographics and ecological stresses. I've been sandbagging this--saving this report for a propitious moment in the annals of this online discussion forum. This moment works for me.
