The Northeast, and the Midwest, seem to be poised to do well in a climate change future. Hugely abundant water. No earthquakes. No wildfires. Hurricanes are an occasional problem but it's a fraction of the problem it is on the Gulf Coast. Sure there are cold winters, but seems a small price to pay.

Hurricanes ain’t shit here. Even Sandy wasn’t more than a moderate storm by the time it hit the Finger Lakes. Winters aren’t as intense as they used to be, which sucks if you like skiing and snowball fights. The real hidden gem here is clouds. It’s overcast more often than not. Plenty of water and shade to keep things cool even in midsummer. My window’s been open all day!
