- Normally, when we think of worlds, the planet Earth comes to mind. What we don t often remember is that the word world can mean more than the Earth.

- 2465: Ehrlich's Population Bomb
- ... and how these problems are directly or indirectly linked to overpopulation. Ehrlich explains situation using various examples of how mass starvation is inevitable if population continues to increase the way it is currently. In third world countries their food supplies are becoming increasingly scarce because of their increasing populations. In these third world countries the rich-poor gap is increasing creating the potential for large parts of the population to starve. Paraphrasing Ehrlich's ideas in chapter can be explained as; there is only so many resources and ... as population increases those resources will soon be depleted.

Ozone depletion, climate change as well ... too much UV exposure and animals will suffer similar symptoms as humans. So if the ozone layer that we depend very much on is destroyed, it could be concluded that we as inhabitants of the world are also destroyed. It is believed but not yet proven that we are altering the world climate by releasing chemicals into the atmosphere by a process called "global warming" or the "greenhouse effect". Some of the chemicals that are believed to contribute to the greenhouse effect are carbon dioxide (CO2), ...
- 2467: The Suez Crisis of 1956: The War From Differing Viewpoints
- ... that were sown in the aftermath of the 1956 Sinai Campaign, or the Suez Crisis. Whatever the operation is referred to as, its consequences involving both relations internal to the Middle East and with the world are impossible to ignore. Looked at simply as an objective event in history, one could note several key outcomes of the war. It marked the beginning of the end of British and French colonial leadership ... the conflict. Why Nasser did this, however, is where my various sources diverge. Quite predictably, sources used from the Egyptian or Arab viewpoint usually pointed to the fact that Nasser was finally freeing a Third World country from the clinging grip of colonial Europe, where Britain and France continued to control much of the Egyptian economy. There is most likely no doubt that Nasser did nationalize the Suez Canal for partly political motives, and as the already crowned leader of "Pan-Arabism", it seemed that he was showing the world that he was ready to let his deeds match his words. Political decisions are rarely one dimensional, and my Arab sources also indicated other reasons for the move- more of which later. It was ...
- 2468: Bill Clintons Lost World

- ... of Peter the Great Russia's desire for change and a quest for progress was reaching levels comparable to those of Europe.
