James Lovelock; inventor of the Gaia hypothesis, predicted in his book The Vanishing Face of Gaia; The Final Warning, that most of the world would be desertified within 200 years. Even Scandinavia may become a barren wasteland and just a few cool spots remain. So within a century Russia or Greenland may be where the world’s scientists congregate.
High Arctic regions of Russia above the rising sea level that will flood much of the Siberian lowlands may be some of the best places to beat the heat. When Greenland stops flooding from ice-sheet meltdown remaining valleys in the mountain shadows will look cool, and not evil to scientific researchers.
Alternatively society may change its structure and homosexuals will congregate in their own nations-maybe Europe, while hetero scientists attracted to Chinese women will move to China from the U.S.A. seeking la femme. Chinese scientists may move to San Francisco and the left coast when it is vacated from homos moving abroad. Harvard and Yale may move too, perhaps to a frontier city in the Hamalayas where some coolness persists in summer.
An alt-right scenario is that scientists will seek out a small country with zero taxes and easy citizenship for an exclusive to the rich and scientists tax haven with desirable waterfront properties, fully stocked refrigerators and golf courses, good mobile robotic defense force etc. A nation to keep an eye on for that is Iceland.
