North is the operative word here
51d latitude here, plenty of heat domes, floods, harsh freezes, massive forest fires. Canada and particularly further North is one of the areas hardest hit by climate change ... so far, lots of fresh water though. Yay.
That was true when the poles were frozen, I would venture to say that altitude is more important than longitude or latitude at this point.
Florida because climate change is illegal there.
Ahh nice refreshing waves coming through the neighbors old house, and to think of the property value now cause last year It wasn't beachfront property. I wonder what home insurance companies call the new increased fee's - wave liquification of property? annual sea level raise fee?
Florida dumb amerite?
Can we make a distinction between "habitable" and "desirable?" Sure, it's possible to survive just about anywhere. That doesn't mean that, given the opportunity, people who live in places that are miserably cold, hot, humid, flood-prone, dry, etc. would not GTFO. My fear is that my property in a hot, dry place will be so undesirable in 20 years that I won't be able to afford to pack up and move someplace less depressing. Definitely a first-world problem! 6+ months of lethal heat outdoors, a failing electrical grid, and dwindling drinking water is grim.
Well, at least this one is more realistic
10 years, easily most, if not all of the northern US and Canada. Wouldn't put any bets on 2040 and beyond though...
Lmao, some people unironically believe the “world will end in 10 years”. Let's check his profile

The "regional climate collapse" narrative is nothing more than neoliberal propaganda to have pretext to bring trillions of subsaharans and jeets into the economic zones to trash wages. Never take a climate doomer who doesn't have genocide as first priority seriously.

That reminded me of a thread on /r/neoliberal the other day where a poster claimed a strong argument for open borders now was to mentally prepare Americans to let in and house the millions of climate refugees that will be coming into the US in the next few decades.
And I was thinking, the US will let them die or kill them at the border before that becomes a reality lmao.

Redditors love to argue that climate change will cause millions of new refugees to try to enter the US and Europe... meanwhile I'm like, what? What makes you think they will be let in? Have you been paying attention? /r/europe is practically indistinguishable from TheDonald now when it comes to immigration. Just a few million migrants made normally woke European Redditors turn right-wing on immigration because Redditors love to be compassionate as long as it doesn't inconvenience them in any way, but as soon as something actually affects their lives they change their tune.

The people of europe have been against mass immigration since at least 2015, but the elites want it, so the EU has been getting another million of diverse young men each year since. The only thing that seems to have an effect is election gains for the far-right, that scares the elites into finally doing something.

But my point is this narrative relies on the delusion that North America is somehow uniquely situated to house climate migrants. There's parts of US/Canada now that people can't breathe all summer from the forest fire smoke.

Forest fires are only so bad because we put them out and don't let them burn naturally. Canada is doing fine with climate change and a ton of land will become arable farmland, it's actually a plus

Yeah it'll unlock huge parts of good soil, and it's not NA's existing farmland was particularly appealing in its time anyway. The Great Plains was so unsuitable for farming that they had to give it away for free. Now it produces most of America's crops.

This is the stupidest shit I've ever heard. "The Great Plains was [sic] so unsuitable for farming that they had to give it away for free." Um no? It was highly arable. It was given away for free or extremely cheaply to people who would "improve the land," and they came in droves

But is it really farmable that far north? It might be warm but will it get enough sun?

they get like 24/7 sun in the summar
even if it's weaker

It fricks with their vegetative and flowering cycles (the crops are the flowers) if you left corn under 24/7 sun it'd probably grow tall but never produce corn

Maybe if we raked the forests, there wouldn't be so many fires. Nothing to do with climate change.

Climate refugees will be more of a thing in Europe than in the United States. Africa and Asia are right at the European doorstep while Central America doesn't even have a fraction of the population of those continents. I wouldn't underestimate !americas resilience either, back in the 1940s it was all doom and gloom about how Mexico was on the verge of starvation and those predictions aged like milk thanks to the Green Revolution.

Why would they need to do that when they already can just use Mexicans and Latinx?
And climate doomers are specifically fixated on the western world getting turned into an apocalyptic hellscape because of climate change. Where are you getting the idea that libs are arguing that North America is a climate haven from?
Western countries don't need an excuse to import truckloads of turd worlders, if they want they just do so like Canada. In America even libs are trending negatively towards immigration, including Latinx immigrants themselves.
