Nowhere in particular as its impact is going to be slow and progressive everywhere so not much noticeable. I find quite dumb to make a life choice for just that

Nowhere in particular as its impact is going to be slow and progressive everywhere so not much noticeable. I find quite dumb to make a life choice for just that reason, to be honest.
In Germany for example there is no noticeable difference, although some people like to think that yearly differences in snow are due climate change.
In Spain I could observe some storms are now a bit stronger and sudden as they used to be as if the weather would turn slightly more tropical.
But these events, even if are an actual consequence of climate change and not just causality, are like not easy to spot as the climate stays mostly the same and there is no apparent change in any drastic way. Perhaps after hundred years if we compare it with today that would be more dramatic, but that’s all. And still there were short periods when the maximal recorder temperatures were even higher during the Middle Ages, so it might be feasible to imagine a future where everything is reversed like the Ozon depletion drama from the 90s. Heck even a single super volcano could change everything in a single month.
So I don’t think the question is more important than where would you like to live for its climate.
- iab 5y agoAs a counter to this, consider the fire-season that is now yearly in California with increasing intensity. Living in the inland regions that are now routinely smoke-filled for significant periods is challenging, and provides strong impetus to move. This is both noticeable, and not fast progressing.

I would be more concerned of living next to a heavy industrial city or country like Shanghai or New Delhi, sometimes even a single concrete production factory can affect sensible people like asthmatic (as it happened to me for a short time of my life). Same story for landfills, or agriculture regions which have the tradition to burn rests from their activity causing serious air saturation. As said I would be more concerned of other factors, including pollution, general climate, time to nature and sustainability of the city for a good work life balance. And king would be: time to commute work.
