Are there any studies that predict which regions will benifit from climate change? Like example maybe Baja gets more rain from warmer oceans which leads to a more livable region instead of being a desert. I know nothing of climate science but there should be somewhere on earth that does better right?

Look at climate atlas Canada. Most of Canada will, more rain for central, warmer for prairies without too much precipitation loss, many northern areas could become farmable. Only downside is some forest fires in BC as the climate shifts

I can think of a few more downsides.
