A newly updated government map has many of the nation’s gardeners rushing online, Googling what new plants they can grow in their mostly warming regions.

oh, that’s a good point. I could see plants and animals migrating north (if they can reproduce in that direction fast enough), but that also means more invasive species wreaking havoc on the existing environment.
oh dear lol
And there will likely be a migration of humans also. As equatorial regions become inhospitable, people will try to move north and south. America will likely see a flood of people trying to escape horrible temperatures in their home countries.
In addition, I wouldn’t be surprised if many southern states see people fleeing north for more reasonable temperatures and possibly fewer severe weather events. (Places like Florida, Texas, and Arizona might get more and more inhospitable while northern states like New York, Wisconsin, and Montana might start having milder winters and thus seem like better places to live.
I’ve been looking at trying to put down roots around the Great Lakes for future climate and fresh water access reasons.
Lake. Effect. Snow.
Good luck. ;)
That stuff is no joke. Walking in 4+ ft of snow for an hour on a normally 15 minute walk in sneakers with single digit wind blowing in all directions at 40mph. Good times! The lake effect was kinda nice on delaying winter too though.
