See, gold has been an excellent measure of wealth over time no matter what changes. The USD has lost 95% of it's value since 1913. Now, I agree, if gold goes up too much in value, I can see pollution becoming a problem from mining activity. That's where the fossil fuel carbon tax and ultra powerful environmental laws kick in as the world population continues to grow and consume the Earths dwindling natural resources. The new world government (probably centred in Peking) might use mobile phones to communicate it's directives to the population, but well... that would be up to them.
