7 months agoeh it’s more like 27 C for life on land
I see this 20 C claim a lot and I wonder if those people have ever grown plants. 29 C is roughly the optimal temp for plants (stuff always grows slower just a few degrees cooler)
They also devote like 5 paragraphs to species richness…of the oceans. Meanwhile literally every marker of biodiversity on land is higher in SEA and India than in Northwest Eurasia, which is a monoculture meadow in comparison
obv global warming is still a threat to this
