Globalization - the evening out of the worlds wealth, wages.

Global warming - disruptions in food supply, living areas.

Overpopulation - more people with more money competing for finite resources. Oil now, everything later.

Maybe a fourth. US war on Muslim nations for their resources. Will create political divisions, China/Russia as a new superpower at a time when US economic power is diminishing.

Big changes.
