So, staying up here in the subarctic is a good idea, then? Or is it likely to turn this into some crazy wasteland as well?
I would say yes, to both questions, if you currently live your life hunting beluga whales for subsistence.

One thing I hate, about even people that accept climate change as an ongoing problem is their reliance on trying to say, "well, once poo poo hits the fan, canada and siberia will become more livable" is lunatic. These areas of the world exist as they are and have been, and the organisms that live there thrive in the current environment that they have. Climate change will effect them just as well as it does us. Polar bears, walrus and elk aren't longing for caribbean beaches after all.

And we have the audacity to think that climate change will make certain parts of the world more hospitable or manageable to us is ok. Once we all move up there, are we going to slash and burn the gigantic untouched boreal forests that exist in these places to grow corn and soybeans? Despite the fact that they provide a great quantity of the oxygen we need to breathe?
