I remember seeing a graphic a few years ago that in 2050 the climate in Philly would be roughly equivalent to Norfolk today. And basically everywhere else across the country sees similar migration. Cold snowy winters are over.

Literally the only good thing about climate change. That and Florida.

Ugh, I hate that we have to save Florida. Can we fix climate change and still get rid of Florida? Is that an option?

Well we still have water at least... Arizona seems to be struggling, so it's still a net positive? (I'm from California so every day my house isn't on fire it's a win!)

Having fresh water is huge. CA and the SW isn't the only region drying out.

Yeah, plentiful fresh water and a lack of serious natural disasters (aside from a few localized landslides) means we're probably getting a lot of climate refugees from the sun belt in the coming decades.
