Species extinction via a nuclear halocaust or environmental collpase remains a distinct possibility.
I we survive this is what I believe the future will be like.
The global language will be English.The script:
Chinese characters.Urban sprawl will be gone.
Private vehicles will be no more.
Agriculture will go indoors inside glass towers.
Most of the world's natural habitat will be reclaimed
Cities will be vertical, reach 10,000 feet, harness their own energy via atmosphere thermal differentials and their water via condensation.
No city will be located in a natural disaster area.
Mass transit will be by vacuum trains
The global occupational contract will be planet management
Fewer people will have families, but the families will be larger.
Child education will be conducted by parents
Politics will be governed by existential imperatives
All Iron Age religions will be history.
Atomic Consciousness will be a universal religion of spiritual thought and practice
All four of the major plagues of Mankind will be over
Utopia will be seen as the natural end result of our evolutionary purpose
The future of the future will be terra-forming in solar space
The evolutionary cycle of human consciousness will come to an end.
Death will be recognized as our next evolutionary step into a transcendental state of Cosmic Consciousness.

If we have a future global language, I am sure it will not be English!
I live in London and if anyone says to me “everyone speaks English” my answer is “Listen and look around you”. If people in London do not speak English then the whole question of a global language is completely open.
The promulgation of English as the world’s “lingua franca” is unethical and linguistically undemocratic. I say this as a native English speaker!
Unethical because communication should be for all and not only for an educational or political elite. That is how English is used internationally at the moment.
Undemocratic because minority languages are under attack worldwide due to the encroachment of majority ethnic languages. Even Mandarin Chinese is attempting to dominate as well. The long-term solution must be found and a non-national language, which places all ethnic languages on an equal footing is long overdue.
