Water is already running out in many areas of the world. Rains are failing worldwide.

No water = no food. Where millions perhaps billions of people are on the move, societies will break down. Look what is happening on the European and US borders and the hysteria it generates when the migration is but a trickle of what is to come.

Yes humanity and technology is moving forward at record speeds, but at what cost to the world majority? To the environment.

I think by 2400 is a rather optimistic figure, it is likely to be much sooner

Fresh water is running out. If you have enough cheap energy, desalination solves that problem.
