It is so hard to predict climate change (prefer this term over global warming). Some models predict after a rise in temp, there being a new ice age that quickly follows (perhaps snow is in the future of Houston and Miami after a period of flooding). Other models have deserts becoming eventual jungles due to weather patterns changing from sea currents changing due to temp changes.

I think people in the west prefer the mountain west over the Midwest (Idaho, Colorado, Utah etc). But if drought and wildfires increase that may change. The west is going thru a brutal heatwave but summers in places like the Central Valley aren't typically that bad--average of 90s with almost no humidity and evenings that dip back down to 60s. This is more than just tolerable for most folks, excluding the fogged in SFers who think anything over 80 might as well be Hades and have a false notion the Valley is over 100 from May-October. Who knows if and how that will change....
