Give us some predictions for 2050 headlines...

...assuming such things as "headlines" and "newspapers" still exist then. And--just to make it clear--I at least am trying to be a little, you know, funny...


***AMA study extols health benefits of smoking; "Oops--looks like we got that one a little bit wrong"


***Harrison Ford to star in Indiana Jones XII; producers say his being dead no drawback


***UN calls for US, Europe to step up building of coal plants; glaciers reach as far south as Cleveland, Long Island Sound

***Brady to make comeback with New York Jets

***Keith Richard to cut new album

***Sanders announces 2052 Presidential run

***GOP Congress announces new Benghazi probe

***Stallone announces comeback as Rocky


...and so it goes...

As sea waters reach 10’ above 2023 normal levels, intake and outflow air snorkels may provide a solution for sea level homes. Coupled with a 3D printed waterproof home seal.

Also, recycled desalinated in-home systems may provide nutrient rich solution for hydroponic food production and to moisten worm beds to feed the new norm: multigenerational homes.

Proving, once again, humans ability to adapt to their planet-wide destructive tendencies.
