My Comment: I have been reading these types of reports since the 1970s. They just take what is the popular news story for the moment, and then wrap it up into their report. In short .... they are just professionals who get paid just regurgitating what they read in The New York Times (and other such publications), and compiled it into a report. I should know .... I was employed doing this 20 years ago. My specialty was environment impacts, and the client was the Canadian Federal Government.
In the 1970s it was shortages in food and energy, a result of overpopulation. The 1980s was acid rain and nuclear proliferation. The 1990s was a peace dividend and continuing prosperity. The 2000 period will be remembered as the internet age and global warming.
The next decade .... I predict that the next decade will be a period of economic and financial turmoil and crisis. Wow .... I guess that makes me a (cough cough) prophet.
