2090s

The 2090s (pronounced "twenty-nineties") is a decade of the Gregorian calendar that will begin on January 1, 2090, and will end on December 31, 2099. Decades are generally considered to end in years ending in a zero, since the first decade began in AD 1 (there was no year 0). Things included here are notable predictions by world organizations, figures of ideal goals set, and scheduled events as of the present year.[lower-alpha 1] As a caveat, there is no way for sure to predict any given event as up to date information frequently changes. There are ongoing futures studies that seek to understand what is likely to continue and what could plausibly change. Predictions for apocalyptic events and the second coming of Christ are discussed elsewhere.

gollark: The specific bizarre way it's arranged gives tons of power to a bunch of arbitrary regions, especially ones which are likely to vote either way.
