Global Temperature has increased by 0.57°C from year 0 (IPCC). This causes the sea level to rise 0.08 metres (NASA), and the weather has become much more unpredictable with constant natural disasters. Around 2000 species on record (10% of all existing ones) have been extinct. Human population reach 7.9 billion.

​

Human Inhabitance

 

Corona Virus (COVID19) started in year 18 continues to dominate the human world, causing around 5,000,000 deaths of humans. However, the policies of staying home encouraged giving birth worldwide, so population growth is curbed but still continues.

 

Pressing problem of global warming, extreme weather, and natural disasters. In the year before, there were huge scale fire in multiple forests in the world, including Australia, South America, and the Arctic circle. This continues to be the case and was joint by the great fire in North America and Middle East during the dry season. Typhoons, hurricanes, and floods continue to dominate the East and South-East Asian countries, as well as North America. The weather has become very extreme, it can be snowing on one day and then reaching 30°C in just a few days.

 

The UK leaves EU, and the world is continuously breaking down connections with each other due to politics and prolonged COVID19 lockdowns between countries, while the US formally withdraws from Paris Climate Agreement.

​

Language

 

The English language remains to be the dominant language in the world, due to its relation to coding and computer language. New vocabulary is added from the increasing use of internet communication. Chinese language and other languages remain dominant in their home country, and the revival of locality has brought back a few minority languages. 

 

Technology

 

The increasing focus on big data, AI, and robotics development has been improving since year 0. A lot of new machines have dropped largely in price are employed domestically, mostly in China, including floor cleaning and window cleaning robots, VR, AR, and MR equipment, digital shopping, digital payment with phone or watches, etc.
