A set of 2016 forecasts about life in 2030 is drawing fresh attention because several of them now look like they are actually happening — unsettling for anyone attached to private ownership, cheap meat, or American dominance.

• The headline prediction is that people will own nothing and be happy, with access replacing ownership.
• The US is expected to lose its spot as the world's top superpower.
• Climate is forecast to push a billion people out of their homes, with rich countries told to expect refugees and a shift in who makes up the population.
• Other calls: lab-printed organs and food, less meat on the menu, carbon taxes on ordinary people, and a trip to Mars.
• The last one is the broadest — Western values getting pushed to their breaking point.

Outlook: Several of these are already inching forward, so expect more arguments about ownership, carbon costs, and migration as 2030 gets closer.
