Well, this is good news in the sense that I am hoping to one day make a video game set in a not too distant future set on a mostly green Antarctica, you know dystopian corporate but also post apocalypse future type thing.
Good news for my estimated timelines being able to shift closer to present, less worldbuilding time gap.
Yep... all good news. No bad news whatsoever.
This is absolutely the best world to set a post apocalyptic fiction on. Apocalypse aversion fiction is getting less credible
Hah, well thanks for the idea endorsement, I guess!
Turns out Antarctica actually has some very interesting geography if you take the ice away.
That and the winter being totally devoid of daylight, the summer being totally devoid of night... the aurora australis being visible basically all the night time...
Sets up an interesting world, if you crank the temperature up enough.
Life would be like the northern extremes, just with much more land and less sea ice
