      The trouble is, if 'north' moves any further north, we are going to have to go and liberate Snow Mexico...

      Are you aware, that most of the population of the USA lives on the shore? Living in a half submerged skyscraper might be novel, but kinda unhealthy.

      Especially if you're in the bottom half.

    So the world is becoming more green due to global warming?
    I'm confused, is this good or bad?

    In the north's Arctic and boreal areas, the characteristics of the seasons are changing, leading to great disruptions for plants and related ecosystems.

    Define "disruptions."

    Climate change is normal and continuous. Our ecosystem is robust to change. Some humans apparently are not.

    I'm one of those that owns a lot of property in the north. That means in 100 years my grandkids will be sitting on a epic goldmine of realestate that all the people fleeing the new desert in the south will want to live. $1,000,000 an acre Bidding starts on the next heat wave.
