Full scale war is not inevitable. It would require time and a shift in culture, yet it is possible to have a future without war. Now while I write that, I do not think small conflicts will end. As competition for crucial resources, such as water, increase there will be fire fights over them. As human societies see that it is more beneficial to resolve conflicts in a peaceful manner, then the frequency of those outburst will decrease. Yet before that occurs it will take a war weariness caused by too much war to occur first. I don't think this will be a simultaneous global phenomenom, rather it will happen a country or region at a time. The nation of Costa Rica being an example of this. If we can make peace more profitable than war, people will favor peace.
