I believe he's getting at the fact that some parts of the world will simply become unlivable due to heat and drought. I once saw a map that showed what would happen if the global temperatures went up X degrees. (I cannot remember the value of X, but it wasn't outside of plausibility within 100 years).
It basically laid the SW US to waste making it basically the Sahara Desert. It also showed how much farther North you have to go to make agriculture actually viable. Canada and Russia would be sitting on some of the only viable land to produce food and crops in the Northern Hemisphere.
If 30% of the US became an arid wasteland, and the rest of it erodes to what is the current climate in Texas, the prospect of living in what would be a much more temperate Canada looks very appealing.
