I think the Great Lakes will be better positioned agriculturally with the increase in temperatures in the future. The Great Plains will be in a bad position agriculturally with higher temperatures. (Look at the Texas example last year).

You do realize that much of the North was in decline (the whole Rust Belt thing) since at least the 1970s, right?
Copy Gold Leader!
I just wanted to clarify a bit of a misconception, that's all. I think that some (not all) feel that since the economic downturn that many started migrating South for jobs. People have been migrating South, before that time.....
Seeing tourist information on the Great Lakes, particularly northern Michigan and northern Minnesota, I'd like to find both the time and money to take an excursion to this area. It is undoubtedly beautiful during the summer.
That said, I would not want to live there and don't see any breakneck paced growth there. Currently, unemployment numbers are better there because the region has some staple industries and the population holds steady (with the exception of MI).

Just like many Americans started migrating to California after World War 2.

Nobody would argue that growth in the area isn't "breakneck-paced", but what attracts people like you to view the area as visitable during summer is what attract northerners to the South to visit -- more ideal weather during rough seasons.

The Midwest isn't for me, what can I say. I'd like to live at an even more southern latitude than I do now.
No, it hasn't. It's been more like less than a hundred years. You don't know much about history if you think that Baghdad has always been the way it currently is.
So, despite the fact that I was referring to US cities or really just cities in countries that are independent and stable and haven't been in turmoil for almost a century or more, your correction was still inaccurate.
From what the reporters told me when I deployed to Baghdad, it was actually a pretty happening city in the 1970s and 80s. It had one of the best night life scenes in the region. Who knew? I guess Saddam knew how to throw a good party. (Sorry for contributing to the off topic tangent.)
I don't know much about the upper midwest, but I wish it well. When I visited Chicago, I couldn't believe how affordable it was for what you got -- better than NYC imo. My favorite US city, bar none.
ANy Increases in temperature equal a greater level of evapotranspiration of moisture out of the ground. Texas had its hottest summer on record last year and the trend has been warmer. The Plains get less precipitation on average compared to the Great Lakes.

You do realize that nearly all of Europe is at a more northern latitude than the continental US, correct? Even many areas of the northern tier of the US don't really have a northern feel to me.
