5. The highlights:

(Well, the ones I found interesting and/or credible, that is)

Lots more extreme weather; high temperatures, major flooding. For those in the Midwestern United States, more cyclones and wind issues.

A possible repeat of the Japan Fukishima situation (with another tsunami, another power plant.)

Problems in Alaska; possibly with the government, possibly environmental (as in, an oil spill.)

Several countries switching out their money for new currency (not abandoning money, just coming up with new kinds of it (with new names for the money.)

Major upheaval in China, (politcal, social) possibly angering its neighbors.

Issues with Iran, including a possible nuclear detonation. Same in Pakistan.
