Analytical computer models predict that the world will face disaster as soon as 2040, and there are already signs that the prediction is correct.
According to Sputnik, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1973 created a model of global stability.
Humanity on Earth could enter a period of extreme transformations in 2040.
The computer model predicts that “human civilization as we normally know” will be extinct by 2040 with important signs coming in 2020, which is only 2 years away.
The computer predicts a population explosion and increased pollution that will send the world’s population into a cycle of sharp declines.
“If we cross our arms and watch, the quality of life will drop to zero. Pollution will become so serious that it threatens human life, causing the world population to plummet, less than the population in 1900.” , the Express quoted a source from the research program as saying.
“At that stage, around 2040-2050, the human civilization as we know it on Earth will cease to exist.”
Scientists estimate that the world population in 1900 was about 1.6 billion people. Meanwhile, the world population in 2018 reached 7.6 billion people. The United Nations estimates that the world population can completely increase to 9 billion people by 2040 if conditions are right.
The time to mark the change that computer models predict is in 2020. “At that point, living conditions on Earth will become extreme,” ABC News said. After that, the quality of life will gradually decline as predicted.
The world population is likely to decline sharply in the near future.
Some of the factors assessed in the computer model such as quality of life and the reduction of vital resources are in fact coming true.
A 2015 UK study found that global food supplies would plummet over the next several decades due to “escalating political uncertainty”.
More extreme weather will put great pressure on food and water resources, the source said. “It is estimated that two-thirds of the world’s population could live without water by 2025. Escalating food prices and political instability also exacerbate the situation, adversely affecting the economy. global economy and society”.
The World Health Organization (WHO) also predicts a big change in 2020 and 2040. But that is one in five of the population in the world’s richest countries will reach retirement age by 2020. By 2040, the youngest members of the baby boom will turn 85.
The rich in rich countries will be more and more because of the development of health. This causes a huge loss of social resources and the proportion of people of working age will decrease, while the elderly need special medical and social care.
