So while I agree it'll be difficult to predict longitudinal regions, we can get an idea latitudinally. This is why I give Canada a better chance at adaptation. Some areas in Canada may fair better than others, but on a whole it'll be a lot better off than the grainbelt. We're already seeing a massive movement of hardy zones, and northern forest fires are more prevalent. Canada's west will probably do worse in that regard.

I don't think in the end anyone is going to have a walk in the park, but I do thing some latitudinal regions will fare better than others and I expect mass migrations to those ends.
