Anyone know a good web site or publication that shows potential outcomes from all these different changes to global climate and where will be the best places to live in the future? Should i be looking to buy plots of property it Alaska?
Aren't all the oligarchs building their escape bunkers in New Zealand?

Altitude not latitude. Alaska would be a somewhat bad spot to live if AMOC slows way down. You want places where the local climate is not driven by the ocean or air currents, meaning there is very little air above them. Think Bogota, Quito, Addis Ababa etc.

The AMOC has high "inter-annual variability", it changes a lot from year to year. Which is why they need 40 years' data to run statistical tests.
North-western Europe isn't going to switch to a frozen mode, there will be hot years and cold years. It'll be all weather, all the time.
Edit: as to where to live, I'd recommend staying in an OECD country, somewhere with a temperate maritime climate. Not at sea level, but 100 metres / 300ft up is enough. Near Vancouver or Seattle maybe.

I be would naïvely think to move to up north to colder places because they will get warmer and have to deal the least with climate refuges. The equator will be death around it will be not that great, beyond that will be refuges. So Russia is looking great. There is a huge climate change boon Russia is set to receive within the next 50-100 years. Maybe Canada too and Scandinavia

If shit actually hit the fan, I assume they'd have to worry about insider threats from their staff.

The American midwest is relatively safe to settle in. St. Louis, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Detroit, and Chicago in particular.
