The future of most of Europe is toast. Scandinavia might manage ok, but global warming, accelerated by huge releases of methane gas in the circumpolar region, is going to toast nearly all of us.

You are a bit on the catastrophic side but this is more of a threat than most of those threats people have listed in this thread.
you gotta laugh at this. not even the media can hide what this immigration wave is causing any longer. yet some people here are still for "international love".

lol. Well, after doing some research to follow up on the climate talks in Paris, I stumbled upon some rather catastrophic news. And I've searched around, desperately hoping to find a more balanced view, experts saying that the predictions are extreme, but I haven't found that. Only more sources corroborating the alarming reports.
Kind of makes all the rest of the concerns people get caught up in seem trivial, no?

I know the forecasts aren't optimistic and that temps have risen far more quickly than even the most pessimistic scientist had predicted a decade or two ago but what i'm not sure about is whether this rise will finally be blocked (the Paris agreements could be a step forward but i'm not optimistic because there is too many countries going through the process of industrialization at once) and how the climate will change (i don't think Southern Europe will ever become a furnace but i think weather patterns are going to get more extreme and that some areas of the world could even get colder due to the blocking or change of certain marine currents).
Care to link to a few of those views you have read. I think they could make for an interesting read
Re: 'The future looks bright. Economies growing again, unemployment shrinking and technology developing. Most poor countries are getting richer'
So in the case of the EU you think it will be resilient then? From my perch she's got alot on her plate. Brussels more and more is being perceived as throwing weight around with Germany at the apex running things. Sure looks like agitation going on turbulently in the 'union'. Far-right parties seem to be on the ascendant with all their implications. Just my take.

How many years before Arabic will become a official language in European primary schools just like English?
Arabic isn't a language of international commerce. Why should it be taught in primary school?
