The world in 2040 / Eiji Kato

Nowadays, it is said that the world is changing. For example, energy resource is not relying on fossil fuel only and many countries are experiencing huge disasters every year. Also, earth’s environment is rapidly disappearing and large amounts of creatures are in danger of extinction. Now, I’d like to predict the world in 2040 from these three points: energy, disasters, and the environment and creatures.

 

The first topic is energy. Green energy such as solar or wind power is in the center of public attention now. Hydrogen is also a type of this energy. It can produce electricity and doesn’t emit carbon dioxide. And many scientists are working research to be able to use hydrogen energy more effective. So, hydrogen is powerful as a future energy source.

 

Secondly, let’s look at disasters. This is one of the most important problem for countries all over the world. In my opinion, these disasters will be more severe than now by 2040 because of climate change. This means that trying to find ways to prevent damage will become much more serious matter.

 

Next, I will talk about the future environment and creatures. If we won’t be able to stop climate change, the environment on earth may be destroyed and various creatures that live there will become extinct. For instance, wildfire is occurring in some places and vast areas forest are being lost. As a result, many creatures are losing their habitat and dying.

 

These are my predictions in 2040. However, I think people must manage to avoid these situations. One of the solutions is the use of green energy. This could stop climate change and save people and earth from terrible disaster and extinction.
