My teacher wants me to write a Sci Fi story but it has to be a what if kind of story. Example what would happen if Global Warming was in full peak. Tell a story of someone going through this difficulty. So can someone help pick a problem we have today and what would it be like in the future if we kept going down that trend.

It has to be like for instance. A true fact is Corn is being considered as a fuel source.So write a story about someone who is living in a world of corn as a fuel source.

Well, I'm about to go to bed and am really tired or I'd try more to help, so I'm going to reccomend you check out these forums: http://www.writingforums.com/

They will help you a lot, to develop ideas, and to check out your draft.

There would be a lot of difficulties in the climax of global warming (like when things really start getting bad, as if they aren't bad now).

For one, you can try to have your character be a farmer, who has to leave the place where his family has lived for generations, because of the (I forget the scientific term, learned this in geography last year) thing where ideal crop locations move poleward. Not sure how the sci fi would fit in, but that would be a significant experience....

Heck, how about living in a space colony?

Good luck.

Like for instance if bush/other world leader continues rain of terror, and takes over world?

or if Scientists keep making advances into space and the GLAST project detects an anomoly of an energy source, and it turns out to be an alien ship heading to earth instead of a massive moving star.

What if AIDS had turned the world into a Post-Apocalyptic Mad Max style world?

What if Emissions really killed the Ozone?

What if there really was a Nuclear War? What Would be the fallout?

What if California really detached from the US?

Due to global warming the polar ice caps have melted, there is no more north or south pole of ice , its just water and as a result the water level worldwide has risen a hundred meters or so (i dount thats the actual amount it would raise) and has reshaped the land mass on earth and people have to somehow survive this flooded world, there is still land but not a lot and getting fuel and food from natural resources other than the sea has become near to impossible....GO!

What would happen if the moon was hit by a huge asteroid and it was knocked out of orbit and it was spiralling toward us? ;)

Can you believe it, the price of corn has raised 2 cent. It cost me 5 bucks to fill up the tank.

Blasphemy!

I heard that the moon is actually very slowly going farther and farther from the Earth. Why not make a story of what happens once it breaks off orbit and goes on its merry way?

Heres another one then. Mars and Earth are moving towards each other at 25 miles per second. Do a story set with only days to go...

Lots of possible topics:

- 25% of the undiscovered oil may be under the north pole. You could have a war up there.
- Pollution from India and China (and 3rd/2nd world nations) will eventually pass US. What will the world look like.
- US and China and Europe in a race to the moon.
- Apothis (asteroid) supposed to near miss the Earth. What if it doesn't. What if we don't want to chance it and want to move it a bit more (ie. movie Armageddon).
- Everyone is scared about the next pandemic (bird flu). What if it happens.
