Features of life if the wild card manifests

Feature 5: politics and global affairs
Thwere would be massive political upheaval as countries and large companies which relied on fossil fuels for revenue would see much reduced demand for their product
Feature 6: health and quality of life
This would have a massive positive effect on the environment - the amount of fossil fuel being used would be dramatically reduced. This would have a benefit on the health and well being of the population of the whole planet
