Thank you so much for the job you're doing, and thank you for the answer to this question beforehand!!! It could be either! Both will and going to make sense. We don't know the context or the way the speaker views this situation, so I don't think there is a definite answer here. Let go of the old way of doing things. Completely transform agriculture, transportation and energy consumption (the three biggest sources of greenhouse gasses). This is the big one. The demise of the human species is being discussed more and more. For many, the only uncertainty is how long we’ll last, how many more generations will see the light of day. Suicides are the most obvious manifestation of the prevailing despair, but there are other indications: a sense of bottomless loss, unbearable guilt and fierce resentment at previous generations who didn’t do what was necessary to ward off this unstoppable calamity.

Sequential Crises across the world Join thousands of others in taking up membership of the Earth.Org Movement. Figueres made the statement a day after global leaders from more than 100 national governments gathered for the United Nations’ climate ambition summit to outline new plans to curb global heating and adapt to its effects, in preparation for this fall’s Cop28. Figueres for years argued that oil and gas companies should have a seat at the table in climate policymaking discussions, but in June wrote an op-ed in Al Jazeera entitled: “I thought fossil fuel firms could change. I was wrong.” Our mission is to foster a universal passion for reading by partnering with authors to help create stories and communicate ideas that inform, entertain, and inspire.

Regarding 3 and 4, both forms can work, though I think I'd go with 'will' as it aligns better with the tone of the text in general. Q5. Due to the fact that predicting based on present evidence expresses a higher level of certainty, why is it stated in some resources that “will” states a higher level of certainty, especially in neutral information, as in: I will be 21 next week.

The Paris Agreement was a landmark for humankind. In this timely and important book, two of the principal creators of that agreement show us why and how we can now realize its promise. I hope it is widely read and acted on.”—Jane Goodall, author of In the Shadow of Man We can use will be with an -ing form instead of the present continuous or be going to when we are talking about plans, arrangements and intentions: Change the plan you will roll onto at any time during your trial by visiting the “Settings & Account” section. What happens at the end of my trial? Figueres said she was initially concerned that Al Jaber would work to protect his nation’s interests rather than fulfilling his mandate of focusing on global collaboration. But more recently, she has developed more confidence in him as a leader. As with most future forms, the choice depends on how the speaker sees the situation. Going to is by far the most common form used in this context because it is a predictable process based on evidence we possess. Will is not grammatically incorrect, but it would suggest some kind of guess or prediction (fortune telling?), so it does seem unlikely.

By the way, we don't usually publish more than one comment from the same user per day, so you will see all of your other questions eventually. Regarding 1, the 'going to' form reflects the fact there is a plan and so is appropriate. The 'will' form can also work as a future fact, and it would also make sense since it follows on from 'will' in the previous sentence. I'm not sure which of these two I'd use, but probably 'will', though really either is fine. Reforest the earth. Stay away from products that destroy the most trees- beef, soy, palm oil and lumber. In addition to speaking about hopes, beliefs, promises, offers and spontaneous decisions, we can use 'will' to make predictions and to talk about things we think are certain. In both of the situations you ask about here, it looks to me as if the speakers are confident about the arrival times of the train and the doctor.
