Unfortunately all those postulating a general warming in areas abutting the North Atlantic are being very optimistic about the future of the Gulf Stream/North Atlantic Conveyor. With northern North Atlantic waters become rapidly less saline, and hence less dense, the longevity of this heat surce is likely to be limited. Odds on Glaciers returning to northern Scotland within the next century...

Central Australia: nothing ever happens there; it hardly ever rains; there are no mountains to fall on you; it's already hot, so global warming won't do much; there aren't many other people to compete with when civilisation collapses.And lots of bush tucker - if you like goannas.

east asia and the americas has the ring of fire; you have the possibility of the uk and northern europe freezing in winter and then being cooked in summer (like france and spain last year), while southern europe is generally roasted if the atlantic current fail. the sahara is spreading and there are the gaseous lakes and major faults in the middle of africa.the indian continent has the possibility of the monsoon failing, as well as rising seas; siberia is releasing massive amounts of methane as the tundra thaws, the middle east is expecting another large earthquake. australia is overheating and its deserts are spreading. polynesia has active volcanoes;north america is threatened by the super volcano at yellow stone and climate change...a safe bet is antartica?
