That's rather a loaded question that pre-supposes the answer, the way you've worded it. It seems that your question already contains the answer you are looking for, so it would be futile to give any answer that didn't fully agree with the premises upon which your question is based.
That was just my long-winded way of saying if you want a broad range of answers, you should ask your question in an open way without any bias inherent in the question itself.
Good luck kid!

Well IMHO (hey, I'm starting to learn this internet shorthand, yipee!), things won't be as bleak as you may envision them. It's very true that we as a species we've been pretty darn carless about taking care of the only world we've got. Actually, as a species, we've got quite an impressive record of being short-sighted and thick-headed about a lot of things. The flip side of that is that when we finally do get around to kicking it up a notch into crisis mode, we can be pretty darn good at taking care of business. So, I'm pretty sure that before we get to the point where the world is irreversibly ruined we will deal with all the problems of our own causing--we'll probably cause a whole other set of problems, but that will be for another crisis.
This is not to say that the world of 2060 will look just like the world of 2006. There are Earth changes coming that we'll have to deal with. Global warming, for example. The climate of the Earth goes through warm and cool cycles, and would do so even if we weren't here, so we can't totally put a stop to the changes coming from global warmings. What we have to do, however is do everything we can not to make it worse on us than it has to be. Also, many people (like Edgar Cayce, for one) have made predictions and drawn maps of Future Earth, and in a lot of places, the contours of the continents are very very different that what we have now. I can't recall all the details, and there a whole host of websites where you can see these maps--for what they're worth, but I wouldn't be taking out any 30 year mortgages in California or Oregon right now, although there should be quite a bit of beachfront property becoming available around Orlando, Memphis and St. Louis. I don't know what grade you are in, but if we're talking eighth grade or up, you could really freak your teacher out if you include some of these Earth Changes that are predicted to happen in the years immediately following 2012. If you plug the search terms "Earth Changes," "Mayan Calendar," "Linda Moulton Howe," "Edgar Cayce," and "Stan Deyo." you'll see the sort of things I mean. (And no, I don't buy all these predictions.)

Fish might be extinct by then because of deoxygenated waters,increased global warming causes polar ice caps to melt and the sea levels to rise meaning countries that are laying flat are liable to flood.

i think that there will be less land from the north and south poles melting, and also from moving tectonic plates. and also there probably wont be as many animals. i think by then therell be another way of disposing garbage.
