* By 2100, [[emperor penguin]]s could be pushed to the brink of extinction due to [[climate change|global climate change]], according to a [[Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution]] study from January 2009. The study applied mathematical models to predict how the loss of sea ice from climate warming would affect an [[Antarctica]] colony of emperor penguins; they forecast a decline of 50% by the end of the century.<ref>{{cite news | url = https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/26/AR2009012601875.html?hpid=artslot | accessdate = January 26, 2008 | work=The Washington Post | first=Will | last=Dunham | title=Melting Sea Ice May Doom Emperor Penguins, Study Finds}}</ref>

==Calendric predictions==
* On March 14, 2100 (which will be February 29, 2100 in the Julian calendar), the difference between the [[Julian calendar]] and the [[Gregorian calendar]] reaches 14 days. Since 14 is divisible by 7, this will be the first time since its inception that the Gregorian calendar will have the same day of the week for each day of the month for the whole year as the Julian calendar. This will last until February 28, 2200 of the Gregorian Calendar.
