    Making predictions this far into the future when we have the huge global warming crisis looming ahead doesn’t seem very wise. The arguments put forward in the article reinforce this initial impression. They don’t seem to have thought very hard.

    As an Indian, this article would have fit nottheonion. The guy speculating this must be high on something really strong enough to make an elephant sleep soundly for a few days, to put it mildly.

    What a useless “prediction.” On one hand, of course, the country with the largest population has a high chance of having a large economy. On the other hand, speculating half a century from now what anything is going to look like is asinine.

    By posting such nonsense, you’re effectively promoting it. Don’t do that please.

      India was the 3rd largest economy last time I looked.

      You don’t need to bomb other countries to be considered a super power.
