Climate Change May Increase, Not Decrease Arable Land

Global Warming Will Increase U.S. Crop Yields, New Study
 
Climate change could expand the agricultural feasibility of the global boreal region by 44 per cent by the end of the century, according to a study. --Press Trust of India, 25 May 2018
 
 
Contrary to previous analyses, new research published by Michigan State University shows that projected changes in temperature and humidity will not lead to greater water use in corn. This means that while changes in temperatures and humidity trend as they have in the past 50 years, crop yields can not only survive – but thrive. --Michigan State University, 16 May 2018

Yes...not increasing arable land overall, but just in that one setting.

However, the scientists warn that the same climate trends that would increase land suitable for crop growth in that area could significantly change the global climatic water balance – negatively impacting agriculture in the rest of the world.
 
Scientists from the University of Leeds in the UK assessed the impact of climate change on land that could support agriculture in the boreal region, which includes large sections of Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Russia and the US.
