The American League Rookie of the Year will be Alex Gordon (Kansas City Royals). He impressed the Royals last year in Spring Training, and as his minor league/college stats suggest, he will be the Royals' finest player since dare I say...George Brett (more accurately, he is Carlos Beltran). Gordon is a sold defensive player as well, but his biggest asset is run production. The Royals may surprise people this year, and when they do, Alex Gordon will be in the forefront.
In the National League, I would have to give the nod to Colorado Rockies SS Troy Tulowitzki.He is a strong defensive player who projects to be a middle of the order run producer for the Rockies. In fact, he is slated to be their starting shortstop this coming season. It will also help that he is playing half his schedule at Coors Field, and will have the likes of Matt Holliday, Brad Hawpe, and Jeff Baker (among others, provided Todd Helton is still a Rockie) to protect him in the everyday lineup.

Delmon Young in the American League. Although his off-the-field antics made headlines in 2006, the kid is a stud and has proved, during the last past of 2006, that he, unlike his brother, can hit big-league pitching. Gordon is a solid ballplayer, but I don't think he'll shine through just yet. Plus, Young is already slated as a starter, while Gordon is not.
The National League will be a close race. I think Stephen Drew will continue on his late 2006 success and win the award. A lot of players ruined their eligibilioty with too many plate appearences. James Loney, Andre Eithier, and Matt Kemp will be solid in LA, but I'm not sure if they are eligible. Keep your eyes on Mike Pelfrey to rays some eyebrows. He's got great stuff, and his lineup should produce about 10 runs/game. It's a great situation for a young pitcher to step into. It worked for Verlander last year.

This is an easy one. If the world gets too hot, we've proven that we can survive it because the "Cradles of Civilization" were in hot, dry areas. If the world gets cold, then we've already proven that we can withstand ice ages, and that's without any "high" technology. If the world gets overpopulated, it will, out of necessity, balance itself out. I don't think we need to worry about surviving the next 100 years. The real question is how to we keep the next 100 years from becoming the next Dark Age.
