A book called Global 2050 ought to offer some firm predictions. But
the subtitle “a basis for speculation” gives the game away. But you will be glad

influence of the Sun and of the forces in the Earth’s interior will change very
little.” Phew! Published by Nottingham University, £18.95, ISBN
1897676654.
