Four Nostradamus predictions for 2024. Did his forecasts for 2023 come true?

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Nostradamus has left an indelible mark on our collective imagination. Because he wrote in cryptic poems or quatrains, his words possess the quality of being perpetually open to reinterpretation to align with historical occurrences. Evaluating his 'accuracy' becomes a notoriously challenging task due to this characteristic.

Did his predictions for 2023 come true?

One of his predictions that seems to resonate with our current times is the grim foresight of rising costs of living, according to Sky History. Nostradamus wrote, «So high will the bushel of wheat rise / That man will be eating his fellow man.» While this prophecy remains metaphorical, it sheds light on the financial hardships many people face today, as headline news often covers mind-boggling inflation in many countries. The other predictions of Nostradamus for 2023 included a great war, worsening climate crisis and growing civil unrest.

Climate disaster in 2024?

Another intriguing prediction revolves around climate catastrophe. Nostradamus seemed to have foreseen the severe weather events we are experiencing today, such as violent storms, wildfires, and soaring temperatures. He wrote quatrains that mention the parched earth and great floods. He also warned of a «Very great famine through pestiferous wave,» which could refer to tsunamis devastating agriculture and leading to disease and starvation, according to Sky History. If his visions are accurate, we may expect even more calamitous climate events in the coming years.

More geopolitical conflicts in 2024?

Nostradamus' prophecies also touch on potential geopolitical conflicts. With China's rise as a global power, experts have speculated about a new Cold War between China and the United States.
