I'm probably less than 35 years from dying. In the next 35 years, Minnesota winters will still be frigid, there will still be flooding all over the country, there will still be droughts all over the country, humidity will still be an issue for a large portion of the U.S., etc

Sea level. That's the one which is coming faster than was expected.

If there was a meaningful change between the IPCC 5th assessement report and the 6th assessment report, I missed it. Double-checking now, the latest report still says 8 inches of rise over the last century, and possibly as much as 30 inches more over the next century.
