It's not going to affect farming anyhow, so probably NBD.
- Until there's a mega drought or mega flood that wipes out massive amounts of crop land. I remember when my small town became an island twenty-ish years ago, and it's not like that shit won't happen again or get worse.
  
  Florida has had more snow than northern Iowa so far this season.
  
  Yup, the melting of northern sea ice has destabilized the jet stream and is causing Arctic air to plunge deeper South at random.
  Have fun!
  
  Weee! The end of society is gonna be fun! /s
