A decade ago, It was predicted that we would hit 1.5°C between 2050-2060, and even as recently as 2 years ago the prediction had moved forward to between 2030-2040.
The next decade or two are going to be very... interesting

I believe by "interesting," you mean "moist." At least, for everyone above/below ±35° latitude.

Also, I hope you enjoyed photosynthesis while it lasted because once the permafrosts at ±60° latitude thaw, we're in for a tough time.

Hate to break it to you, but everyone in the world is either above or below ±35° latitude.

[-] solidgrue@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Yup. Good luck out there.

I can't quite figure out if it's supposed to mean everyone within 35° of the equator latitude, or everyone outside it.

I believe they meant above 35°N / below 35°S, so the latter.

There's probably a guy standing with his feet on the North Carolina and Georgia border, he's above and below the 35th parallel but he's not either above or below it...
