One big difference between the world today and the world of tomorrow will be trees.
We will have a lot more trees in cities.
We will have trees in fields where crops grow.
We will have trees in pasture where animals graze.
Trees protect us from the hot sun and trap moisture for other growing things. And they sequester carbon.
Sun blazing down on asphalt won't seem acceptable as temperature goes up. We'll need trees to provide shade and keep cities liveable.
London Tree Map:
Eight million trees in London. A wonderful dataset thanks to the London i-Tree Project.

@evan As for trees where crops grow, the trees in and around fields of the High Weald in south east England where I grew up are like an arterial network.

My dad wrote a book about this landscape. https://web.archive.org/web/20230219223039/https://highweald.org/about-the-high-weald-unit/news/2132-brede-high-woods-its-a-wild-story.html
It's a great read if you're interested in trees, forest, and our relationship with them.
