The year was 2012. I think. Unfortunately, I didn´t take any notes. But one newspaper pessimistically predicted that by the year 2020 (or thereabouts) all chocolate would be gone in the world. Cuz climate change will destroy all cocoa plantations. Another newspaper (or maybe the same one!) also optimistically predicted that by the year 2020 (or thereabouts) the world would have abundant energy from fusion power. Assuming somebody pays something like a trillion euros for developing such power plants.
What we really got was...more of the same. I can still buy chocolate in my supermarket. And I can turn on electricity from fission power or hydro.
But yeah, it´s gotten more expensive. Much more, actually. They also missed a couple of crises which did happen. You know, the demographic crisis, the migrant crisis, a dude named Trump becoming US president, that kind of stuff. Nothing to worry about, just some slight oversights, I´m sure.
And now sports!
