The North and South poles aren't going to melt yet. But by 2016 we will probably start to see tropical diseases appearing throughout the globe.

I was under the impression that the North Pole already has been melting in mid-summer for a few years. Not all the glaciers in the northern hemisphere, but the big ice chunk right on top of the pole. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

If the ice keeps melting and the ocean keeps rising I might finally be on beach front. That's something to look foreward to. Just a shame about the whole "Ice Age" thing. Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

The North Pole ice floes will melt to the point where polar bears will starve and go extinct in the wild. Or they evolve to become a marine mammal. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

By then most dams will have backfilled with silt, meaning less power generation from hydroplants. The environmentalists will see a few decapitated birds and complain about the wind-gen farms. Terrorist activities (or the percieved threat) will increase the price of crude shipping above the threshold of profitability. Begin stockpiling whale oil, garden rakes, vegetable seeds and ammunition now or be left behind. *this message sponsored by JS mercantile and supply* -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

Some of my predictions for 2016? If Israel isn't already destroyed by Iran, it will be fighting Palestine with renewed vigor after Sharon dies. North Korea will either be absorbed or overthrown by the South, or they'll be in an unstable chaotic mess after bombing South Korea. Poverty and disease will increase in sub-Saharan Africa, and any attempts to aid the people will result in further empowering their corrupt governments. The US, still run by Republicans, will continue to spend billions of tax dollars on defense and ignore foreign aid and the worsening environment. Until the UN agrees to everything the US says, the US will continue to ignore them at convenient moments. Because of a lack of power over the most powerful nation in the world, the UN will slowly live out its usefulness. Iraq will still be in a mess. The lack of a Kurdish and Sunni power will further strenghten the Shi'is' grasps on their own countries and the on Middle East. Terrorism will have worsened. (oops shouldn't have used 'terrorist,' I'm secretly being monitored by my friends in the government.) EDIT: Oh, and unless they make a pill that sucks the fat out of your skin, most Americans will stay enormously obese. EDIT #2: How could I forget China? By 2016, China will own the world.

If we are really lucky, by 2016 we will be living on the Moon, or else in space stations orbiting the Earth. So we won't have to worry about the ocean rising (although we still should stop it, it is cruel to completely mess up a planet, then leave it to its doom without clearing it up) Posts: 587 | Registered: Tuesday, April 1 2003 08:00 |

Liposuction can't safely take off more than a few kilograms at a time. Even then, it's a risky procedure. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

If all Americans stay/become obese then we can just kiss this country goodbye as without workers everything falls apart.You can probably expect a signifigant increase of people becoming drug addicts/ as the sentences for drug users keeps going down. -------------------- George Bush is a Nazi - Eric Cartmen I'm not as think you stoned I am Visit the RIFQ Forums Posts: 462 | Registered: Tuesday, June 21 2005 07:00 |

I also have to wonder how you expect longer prison sentences for drug offences to actually help anyone with a drug problem, since a jail is about the easiest place in the world to get your hands on illegal drugs. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Also, since when are sentences for drug users going down? I sure haven't gotten that impression. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Moral of the story: we're all fluffy bunny rabbits who are afraid of what lies ahead in time, and outside our homes :D 2016: Love cools; friendship falls off; brothers divide; in cities, mutiny; in countries, discord; in palaces, treason; and the bond cracked ’twixt son and father.
