Some places in Scotland or Ireland seem to be nice if the weather trends are for warmer summers. There would still be a chance of snow. I would have closer values than I am accustomed and I would not have rigorous winters like the subarctic climates near Hudson Bay or Labrador.
Punta Arenas could be an option, or another city in the southern tip of South America, however I think it's fresh for a long time.
New Zealand would not be the best option for me that would like cooler winters, but would be a good choice for those temperatures above the freezing point.
The tropics of very high altitude is good for those who like a constant temperature because it mimics the pattern of an equatorial climate but with milder temperatures due to decreased air volume.It is the case of the capital of Kenya to cite another example.
In the long run, NW Europe may be chancy. If Greenland melt water breaks the thermohaline cycle and the Gulf Stream shuts down, winter weather in NW Europe may get really ugly.
A move north to Canada might be in order if things heat up too much here
Newfoundland or Labrador might be nice, maybe northern Ontario or Quebec but my French is horrible...
I'm still sticking to the altitude factor. Quito at 9450 feet! Been there a few times, it's springtime weather year round, and no cold winters to deal with. And, if it does get a bit chilly in winter, it's a short drive down to sea level on the Pacific.
Right now the atmosphere is warming much faster than the oceans. It will take a couple centuries for the oceans to catch up, then things might get really interesting. Toxic algae blooms might kill off much sea life or make it inedible. More water vapor in the air will probably make extreme rainfall events common. The way things are going, the next few generations will have the opportunity to find out.
I'm good right here in Milwaukee. We have everything we need, cooler overall weather, and more importantly, an endless supply of fresh water. Once you get up into those higher elevation locations water can become an issue.
