Underwater power stations use geothermal energy. Water penetrates into tectonic faults and heats up to high temperatures using the Earth’s natural heat. Underwater geysers are formed this way, as well as hot geothermal lakes and currents. Their warmth is used for warming houses and buildings

Deep-water researchers continue to discover new types of seaweed. One of them — “Green soylent” — turns out to be nourishing and tasty. Residents of the underwater city not only provide food for themselves now, but also send some of their harvest to the surface. Seaweed becomes

Water and wind catchers

Cute but old-fashioned wind turbines are replaced by more advanced wind generators. These towers are shaped like huge cyclone funnels. They reach higher than the clouds and can use the strong winds present at great heights. The air inside the tower is accelerated by pressure differences, and this

New continent grown by corals

In XX century, some artificial islands were built by UAE, Japan and China, but their land reclamation technologies were rather old-fashioned: large amounts of rocks, cement or clay had to be moved to a targeted area. That's why those artificial islands were small and very expensive to build. Now,

It's great when you can control the weather: more rain is sent to drying farmland, and big cities use regular "sanitary" rains for cleaning. However, more rain in one country could mean less rain in the other. As soon as hidden methods of weather manipulation are detected, some countries start "wars

Central Australia will be made habitable because of the growing rate of the world’s population. If current birth, death and immigration rates continue in Australia, the population will reach 40 million by 2050.

Climate change will melt much of the ice in Antarctica. With this, the ice becomes softer and easier to drill ice cores. Russian scientists from Vostok Station, along with others from the international community, will drill larger ice cores and perhaps even shafts down which field scientists will

Climate change will cause worse and worse weather, including hurricanes that will severely disrupt the way of life in India's Andaman Islands. Outsiders no longer being the greatest threat to the North Sentinalese, the uncontacted tribe will ruefully accept aid from non-islanders, leading to greater

By the year 2050, the first floating "seasteads" will have been initiated, the first of which will be government funded projects. Over time, whole offshore cities will appear, many even becoming sovereign or privatized. These will be fully sustainable, using the power of the ocean, sun, and wind to

By 2050 drastic measures have been taken to preserve coastal cities below or close to sea level. Currently, climate scientists predict that a 2℃ rise in global average temperature will result in a 50cm rise of sea level. By 2050, that number will be greater. Venice is, at average, just 1m above sea
