The problem with climate change, in particular global warming (i.e. adding energy to the system), is that it increases the variance of the system. This means that the system becomes harder to predict, and we're not looking at a mere "redistribution" of weather. It's very possible for weather to get worse (i.e. disruptive to the current functioning of the local ecosystem) everywhere I would not at all be surprised if some areas suffering from extreme heat right now become unlivably cold in the coming decades. The problem with climate change is that it does not, in a human life time, lead to a new normal. If these new weather patterns were here to stay, we could adapt. what we'll get instead is constant changing which becomes increasingly resource intensive to survive.
