Sci-Fi Is Real: This Year’s Top Anticipated Science News

Seems like last year was keen on eating too much sci-fi candy and now we’re debating between calling Ghostbusters or bringing Doctor Who back on speed dial. From drugs deciding to turn us into skinny legends, the world having a hot flash worse than Aunt Kathy, to Free Willy attempting a hostile takeover, it was one heck of a ride.

Whipping out their crystal ball for 2024, the super science duo Ian Sample and Hannah Devlin, with eco-sleuth Patrick Greenfield are ready to drop some knowledge bombs.

Bulletproof Breakdown: The Future, According to Ian, Hannah, and Patrick

• Size Zero Here We Come:

  With the advent of weight-loss drugs like Wegovy, we might just manage to convert our pandemic pounds into lean, mean fighting machines. Prepare to say goodbye to your ‘dad bod’ fellas!

• Blazing Global Temps:

  If you thought wearing a bikini to Christmas dinner was weird, brace yourself! The globe-trotting temperature is about to set new records this year too. Better start stocking up on those SPF 100 sunscreens folks.

• Orca Uprising: A Sequel:

  You thought Jaws was scary? Wait till you hear about the planned Orca uprising. It seems that 2024 might just be the year we negotiate a peace treaty with them. Could ‘Save the Humans’ be their next cause? Fingers and fins crossed! Must remember to watch less ‘Finding Nemo’ before bedtime.

• Climate Chronicles:

  Our man-of-the-hills, Patrick has a sneaky suspicion that more climate stories will be hitting the front page this 2024. Better make sure you’ve got your rubber boots and Noah ark blueprints handy!

Final Destination: Humanity’s Roller Coaster Ride

Buckle up, buttercups! If the predictions of Ian, Hannah, and Patrick are anything to go by, Earth 2024 isn’t going to look like it did in your Kindergarten globe. However, as the human race, we’ve always navigated stormy seas and fiery volcanoes (even angry Orcas). So, while this ride is looking like it’s well past the ‘loopy loop’, who’s to say it won’t be another great adventure? Let’s make sure the popcorn’s ready!
