Being currently at 43 degrees south this struck a cord. I suppose that the same thing may play out in the southern hemisphere. Though the differences that stand out are that the east antarctic ice sheet is rather more stable and there is a land mass there once the ice is gone.
To speculate on that will happen here in New Zealand where I am: I looked at Paleo-climatic studies which found based on pollen cores that the climate of north and south end of the country ended up similar to what the north end is now. At the moment the north end is sub tropical with avocados growing.
It seems reasonable to suspect it may reflect present day southern japan because it's on the western edge of the pacific ocean and at 30 degrees north.
Being an island I would expect the local weather systems to be able to bring in rain, just as Florida and South East Asia receive now at 30 degrees north, although possibly in a monsoonal pattern. At least I hope so.

What about the south?
