Then next year we better snownbird somewhere because a drought + El Nino means 2024 could get ugly!

If we get the strong El Nino that was forecasted, then the Upper Midwest states should be warmer and drier than average this winter, per El Nino trends.

I have read there are places that Global Warming is going to actually make better, and not just Greenland and Nunuvut. Those sh-tty Okie states in the middle of the country might actually wind up with a more moderate climate with more wet but not with anything torrential. Arkansas and Southern Missouri might become habitable.

Minnesota is already on the perfect parallel. OTOH, if it still rains in a hotter world, the farmland in northern Minnesota will shoot up in price.

Arkansas will never be livable.

MN/wI/MI are deemed the most safe states by some- but we have fastest rising temps and will have drought/flood issues from extreme weather that will cause plenty of issues so I don’t know how to really rate it- comes down to luck in many cases

but, we’ll have water.

Yeah, I imagine modeling global climate is exceedingly difficult. Predicting things like stronger hurricanes is more straightforward. But understanding what happens when certain areas warm at different rates and how the geography affects it? Man...

For how long is the questionable part as well. Illinois is drying up.

Overall, the communities that rely on aquifers are withdrawing about 98 million gallons of water a day from them. By all accounts, that is about double the sustainable rate.

Indeed, Dan Hadley, a hydrogeologist at the Illinois State Water Survey in Champaign, cites state studies that suggest aquifer withdrawals in areas such as Will and Kendall counties must be reduced by at least 40 percent and even 50 percent over the longer term to ensure the region has adequate water supplies.

Problem is that while those areas will have the right temperatures for being breadbaskets, they don’t get enough sunlight. So they’ll never be as productive as today’s breadbaskets in Kansas et al.
