What will the world look like, sound like, in 2015?

Oh and I forgot, new UFOs will appear in Roswell.
Needless to say, a heap of crap from the doomsayers.

At one time North Dakota region was warm and tropical and the dinosaurs roamed those parts. For many years that has changed, the climate of North Dakota has gone from tropical to much cooler weather.

I'm not very good at earth and science so correct me if I am wrong. But we had an Ice Age and then a tropical phase and then what we have today? I don't know, I don't know the 'ages', but I do know the climate has been forever changing since day one and will forever change as long as the earth is here. So guarantee based on what we know of our history climate and today's changes, that there will be those changes in our future as well. That isn't a doomsayer thing, that's science.

I've always looked at it as the earth is old and is growing older by the minute.

As for as UFO's I just can't go there. I doubt very seriously we are looking at an invasion of the body snatchers in 2015.

However, diseases that kill, we just can't seem to get a handle on them. New ones just seem to keep popping up all over the world. Wonder why that is?

in 2000, a blowing the whistle campaign was started that wants to halve the world's poverty by 2015.

i'm wondering, however.

They say the world wide campaign is right on track. However, I've read research and reports of reporters who say that, farmers in the U.S. are being paid, not to farm their land.
Sounds a bit hinky to say the least when given the idea of the goal is to end poverty and hunger by 2015, the United Nations reports on Millennium Development Goals.

If farmers don't farm, how are we going to eat? (speaking for the U.S. of course) Maybe we are going to order out?

as far as my laylady's information goes, eu farming may also favor energy production to food provision.

effie if this keeps going this way....

Farmers offer to enroll their land in the CRP. It has to be land where crops previously grew. If the USDA accepts the offer, the farmer gets paid a fee, roughly equivalent to the rental value of the land, to stop growing crops on it. The CRP: Paying Farmers Not to Farm : NPR

Imagine, then, that our federal government paid hundreds of millions of dollars in 2006 to keep farmers from growing rice -- $218 million in Arkansas alone, Rice shortage? U.S. paid millions to farmers to not plant it

by 2015 farm production will be conducting new energy. People may be independently growing their own.

I have a background and farm family, north and south and some experience with that. My grandmother pickled water melon rind! Quite tasty actually and I helped. We do what we have to do.

But to be honest, this just isn't right. Park the car and grab a horse, we're in for a ride.

actually, in one german high quality forum, there is right now a debate going on food becoming increasingly artificial (additives, etc.). and controls, where in place, prove rather pointless....

the world might be in the middle of the tribulation.
a one world currency is already being pushed by the G8 and most people actually support it.

The U.S. will have continued atrophying due to socialism and radical environmentalism, and will be in the midst of a credit crisis and possibly hyperinflation. There will be great civil unrest. The balance of economic power will have continued to shift towards the eastern nations and city states, making Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore the greatest world cities. The U.S. and Israel will be engaged in a war against Iran, most likely as a result of a nuclear attack.

Conclusion: Learn Mandarin and invest in the Asian commodity market. If you intend to remain in the U.S., read Atlas Shrugged and do what you can to spread the right ideas.
