If you believe the climate models and the projected co2 levels by the end of this century which may reach 800ppm, even if we go completely "green" in 150 years time, by then melting permafrost would continue to force co2 levels up to maybe 1500 ppm by 2500. Chicago will either be a tropical jungle or a barren desert.

No I don't believe this for one minute

Come to Montreal Fjord City, Vermont. Vermont's largest saltwater port, it's one of the better climates of the US only getting to 40 Celsius a few times a year. Connected by short canal to Albany, it offers quick, sea-level access to Lake Montreal, Toronto, Gulf of St. Lawrence and the new Eastern Seaboard. Navigators, however need to be very careful as the amount of decaying crap under these routes is incredible. Residential buildings, towns, Walmarts, malls, oil refineries, control towers, roller coasters, all kinds of crap. Sonar or GPS is essential. They're so many bridges from the pre-sea level rise era that if you stay where the rivers were you'll run aground on a bridge. Therefore, your ship must bypass them and navigate over residential areas. Follow the prescribed route(s) for your draft to avoid running aground on Yankee Stadium or some guy's antenna or a damn chimney or something. Do not pass close to buildings sticking out of the water, 'cane-stressed structures like the CN Tower and New York Sky Spear can collapse from rust and go "timber!" at any time. They may seem fun to sightsee but most big city avenues are full of low depth early millennium skybridges.

Not for this hoax, my physics grades slightly went down for this semester due to "global warming" subject inserted in the physics book, it's hard to memorize global warming stuff if one doesn't even believe

I doubt humans will still be living 500 years from now.

Sydney will be more like Brisbane. Hotter, humid summer and warmish drier winters.

Miami will have the climate of Venus, with 800 F summers and winters a nice and cool 780 F. At least according to most climate models anyways...
