We'll all be dead in the next 100 years so does it matter?
As the population grows and resources diminish and no safe respite in sight, the age old genetic instinct to want . . . need . . . take will kick in and the globe will be heavily redistributed.
As tensions rise between the old guard (England, Europe Russia, NA) and the more ruthless and pragmatic new guard in the asia's (China, India, Pakistan etc) we'll see the recreation of savage proxy fights on a smaller letter as the two sides try to tip world politics in their favour, the UN will function badly and the extremists will find ways to increase tensions. Finally a all out planet busting war will erupt with the winner taking the charred husk of this planet.
A earth with 10 or 15 billion people on it, is a powder keg that needs one match to become uncontrollable.
