A report has recently been published about what the earth might be like 20 years or so from now on. The report is a result of a three-year
46 .
According to the report, the picture of the earth in the year 2020 is not a
47 one. The world will be more
48 because the population will continue to grow. The population could be
49 9,000 million, almost 3,000 million more than that in 2009. More people would move into cities, especially cities in
50 countries. Cities in India and Thailand probably would
51 have a population of 20 million by then.
Food production will
52 , but not enough to feed all the people. Farmers will grow 90% more food than they did in 2009,
53 most of the increase would be in countries that
54 produce enough food for their people. Little increase is
55 in South Asia, Africa or the Middle East. Poor farming ways are 56 large areas of cropland, changing farms into deserts. More farmland is
57 as cities become larger and more houses are built.
58 will get worse as developed countries burn more coal and oil. Many of the world’s
59 could disappear as more and more trees are cut down. Energy will continue to be a serious problem. The experts say their
60 of the earth for the year 2020 may be wrong. They only
61 the situation as it is today. By changing the situation, by
62 the problems, the picture can be changed. There is
63 time for the nations of the world to
64 a plan of action. But they considered that 65 too long to make a decision would greatly reduce the chances of success
