70 years ago (a bit more): First nuclear power plan goes online
70 years ago (a bit more): My mom is born.
70 years from now: My kids and their cousins will still be alive. I won’t. Climate in north-western Gemany has a good chance of being like today’s southern France. Germany’s population, on current trajectory, will be down to 70 million.
Nigeria will have grown from 400 million today to over 800 million. This will make it the second most populous country in the world, after India, which will then have 1.5 billion people.
China will likely have declined to around 700 million people (10*70).
The USA will have grown to approximately 400 million.
