The northern parts, sure. Also northern China. The Arctic could become the new Mediterranean.

They grow lots of wheat in the US upper midwest, and it gets damn cold there in the winter.

Ah. Yes, I said Mediterranean. But I meant it in the classical sense. Of a sea used for transportation among major centers of civilization. When everything in the current temperate zones has become ultra-tropical hellhole.
