5. Major ecological crisis causes a global climate change that, among other things, disrupts the food supply—causing big price increases everywhere and sporadic famines. 6. Major rise in crime and terrorism forces the world to pull back in fear. People who constantly feel they could be blown up or ripped off are not in the mood to reach out and open up. 7. The cumulative escalation in pollution causes a dramatic increase in cancer, which overwhelms the ill-prepared health system. 8. Energy prices go through the roof. Convulsions in the Middle East disrupt the oil supply, and the alternative energy sources fail to materialize. 9. An uncontrollable plague—a modern-day influenza epidemic or its equivalent—takes off like wildfire, killing upward of 200 million people. 10. A social and cultural backlash stops progress dead in its tracks. Human beings need to choose to move forward. They just may not …
