Eugene Linden is a seasoned journalist for Time magazine
and the New York Times. In his 1998 book entitled The Future
is in Plain Sight: Nine Clues to the Coming Instability, he meticulously
lays out his case that our planet today teeters on the very brink of imminent
global instability. Here are his 9 clues:
- The collapse of our integrated global economy
- The massive unprecedented migration of
the rural poor to the world's bursting cities
- Urban, national and global over-crowding
through population explosions
- The widening gap between the rich and the
poor
- The ominous global warming and rising sea
levels of earth
- The spreading collapse of the bio-ecosystems
of life on this planet
- Mounting water and food shortages from
troubling climate changes
- The resurgence of spreading infectious
diseases
- Growing, radical, right-wing fundamentalism
in all the world religion
In light of today's news headlines, do any of these conditions sound
familiar?
