If the earth's temperature is really rising, won't there will be a longer growing season in the northern latitudes and won't more arable land will be available in places that once were too cold or dry for agriculture?
To a point, yes. But there are multiple issues, like permafrost layers, soil composition, etc, that mean that while the temperatures and growing seasons will work out better, it might not end up as good for farming.
Fixable to a point, but difficult overall. Drier areas (now) might also get drier or at least not get more rainfall, that's harder to really say how it'll work out.
Physical space is another issue, as some of the more northern areas are in worse terrain and not farmable, vs the plains we use now (at least in the US).
