This will likely balance out, as losses from certain regions that will be adversely impacted by climate change (e.g., Florida) will be offset by gains in other states (e.g., Virginia). There will be some detrimental impact, see Quaye et al (2018) "Climate Change Impacts on Farmland Values in the Southeast United States" for where I'm pulling this information from, but it won't be completely devastating.
Again, I'm not saying that this is a good thing, and I'm only talking about cropland and not the impact of climate change on costal population centers (it will be devastating).
