First, a great post. I find it more instructive to analyze predictions gone bad, rather than validating new ones.
Besides global warming:
1. Death of the Republican Party and the right.
2. The power of big media controls the political discourse.
3. Japan, Italy and Greece will disappear.
4. Alternative energy as more than a niche energy supply.
5. Litigation as means of control.
6. Multiple languages spoken throughout America.
I think most of these will not come to pass.
>>4. Alternative energy as more than a niche energy supply.
I was involved just enough with alternative energy as an engineering undergraduate in the late 70s to become disenchanted with it. I found it especially dispiriting that we didn’t learn from the Carter-era DoE failures and boondoggles, and that I lived to see much of that nonsense repeated under Obama with Solyndra and many others.
¿Por qué no?
