I don't see a dramatic change in the world coming in 5 years from now.
I see the war not ceasing to end until all this terrorism ends which I am sure it won't for ages.
At least Tony Blair and George Bush will be gone and may or may not be replaced with better leaders.
Pollution will go up as the number of people living alone increases - more cars and also air travel is going up dramatically and even though there are VERY new fuel efficient planes coming into service a few years from now [The 787 and A350 are supposed to be EXTREMELY efficient] global warming will just get worse though still not of catastrophic proportions which will happen later.
Social problems won't improve in 5 years - crime, poverty will not get better and the Men's movement which is inevitable seems a bit far off [though it could happen anytime] and I doubt the US or UK will be taken over by foreign powers in next 5 years
