In 2077 bodies are taken from the “House of Release” to be processed into food chips for the masses who think it is made from green algae. But the dark secret is that not only is the algae dying in the hot oceans, but humans are being processed for food otherwise there will not be enough for the 9 billion alive. 500 million in the USA, alone.
The govts of the world are moving to more and more mechanical fascistic style govts to maintain control so their govts won’t fail and the polity won’t fragment. Once that happens any large projects by the human race will be all but impossible. By then much too late to do anything at all. It should have been done in the beginning. At least started by 1970. Too late now. After 2020 the difficulty just compounds to slow it down, not even stop it. And the need to take the excess CO2 out of the air was a necessity. It still is now.
In the USA of that time the Green House effect is very obvious and farming is failing in many places as the forests of the world wilt from the CO2 + heat = stunted corn. But the toxic plant life burgeons like milk weed, and the caustic oil from sumac and poison ivy becomes stronger. Mammals develop smaller as the heat continues to climb now in 2018. Meat animals die more quickly, others grow smaller from cows to pigs.
“Soylent Green is people!” Shows a dying world doing the unspeakable to survive. How soon in the real world?
