I found this before and had difficulty believing it. So, somehow, Dallas becomes like southern Louisiana while Denton and McKinney become like arid portions of Mexico.

Burlington, VT will feel like somewhere in the middle of Illinois. That doesn't really alarm me, if it were like Maryland or Virginia, then I'd wonder.
Minneapolis in 2080 will climatologically feel like Lansing, Kansas, which means significantly warmer winters with little to no snow.
This is worrisome because it's going to radically change the nature of the ecosystem here. A lot of Minnesota's beautiful North Woods flora and fauna will be too stressed to survive, and invading species from the south will wreak havoc in native landscapes.
A lot of people seem to be of the impression that climate change could be "beneficial" for colder climates, but it's actually going to be devastating.

I don’t know... it says Lansing Kansas for Chicago too... not sure how much I believe this map.
It also says Phoenix will have a climate similar to a Esperanza, Mexico with “165% wetter summers.” Yet Vegas will be similar to Bullhead City, Arizona just a bit to the south. How does that happen?
Seattle’s climate will allegedly be similar to Salem, Oregon. I’ll take that.

If climate change is real and it’s more than a short climate blip it will produce winners and losers as all climate events do. The mid evil warm period for example allowed Greenland to be settled by Vikings. The little ice age ended that. Here in Notth America parts of Canada and Alaska that are too harsh for large populations today will likely become more usable.
Here in Tennessee the map suggests we will have a climate similar to the Gulf Coast. Not a huge change, one state to our south the weather is not that different. I can see how upper Midwest states like Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan could have their realities altered far more significantly than some places. If you think about it though those places are not as far north as you think, only 45 degrees north. That is similar to the latitude in Southern Europe. The upper Midwest is far colder today than most places at a similar latitude. What that map is suggesting is that climate change will make their weather more normal for locales at the 45th parallel.
I'm not from there, but for Miami it will be...acquatic
