The rest of your points were clearly jokes, so I'm only going to address this one, which some people might consider to be true.

Let's take Baffin Island for an example. It's cold and desolate now. If it gets warmer, you might think that people would be able to live there more than they do now.

But if you look at pictures, even after it warms up, it will be gravel. Warm gravel instead of cold gravel. It takes hundreds of thousands of years for gravel to turn into soil with organic material in it.

This was the lushest picture of Baffin Island I could find.
