In the early part of the 21st century it became clear that the planet Earth could not sustain its growing population much longer. Global warming was causing colder, wetter winter conditions in the north and warmer, drier summer conditions in the south. Hurricanes and Tsunamis were eroding the coast lines all over the planet.
