At the 2 degree climate change that's currently what we're on track for, the decline in crop production within the Mississippi/Missouri River watershed will still produce far more food than it did prior to the green revolution of the 60s which doubled crop yields. Reductions in crop yields are far worse in other regions of the world like say, India or within south america.
Even the most extreme of alarmists point at 3-5 degrees of warming and even then that wouldn't happen for a very long time for the upper part of that even in a worst case scenario.
I see where you’re coming from, but this line of thinking tends towards a soft denialism imo. There is no place on earth that will be “fine”, just places that will be somewhat less catastrophically changed. I’m skeptical this is a useful exercise.
Poorer countries will definitely be the worst off, but “fine” paints a very different picture than what I’ve seen scientists say about North America.
