Curious because as gen z the climate change end of the world has been moving back consistently for me until about covid. My first memories was 2010 then it got pushed to 2012 then 2016, 2018, 2025, 2030, to 2040 and last I heard right before covid it back down to 2035. Could just be I was surrounded by propaganda though.

Idk what you are referring to but maybe it is the point of no return that people have been talking about? Like we have until such time to act? But they also were trying to stay below 1.5°C but now it's a pretty foreign conclusion that we will hit that this century. So now it's 2°C.
