How can we adapt to meet the changes predicted for this century?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for March 26, 2008:
Changes will come about. That is an undebatable fact. Unfortunately, I don't think there is really any way to predict what they will be though. I play a lot of video games, but one quote I remember from one of them is "The only sure thing about the future is uncertainty." I believe this is true. We can't know what is going to happen because it hasn't happened yet. For all I know there could be a nuclear war that is going to start tomorrow between Korea and the United States. Or maybe the events going on between China and Tibet will end. I just don't know.
It is the ability for a human to adapt to these unknowns that make us so great, not our claims to know what will happen.

Its like a very complex chess match, you try to predict but if you jump to straight conclusion you usualy lose, but if you predict more than one move, your chances of surviving and winning increse, sort like that i guess.
Yet people do stick to the predictions, waiting for something to happen or someone do something, not them do something about something.
