In theory, it would:
>have average summer highs too low to even cause discomfort
>have average winter lows decently above freezing, since the implications of unusually cold weather become far more serious below 0°C
>not have an unusual climate for its latitude and geography, which is dependent on things that could change (Britain could be colder on average)
>have an ecosystem full of flora and fauna known to tolerate a warmer climate
>have very little land (especially cities) within a few metres of sea level
>be heavily forested, and have plenty of moisture, as both help regulate temperature
>have no deserts which could spread

The closest country to this perfect ideal is Aotearoa; the only difference is that it's a patchwork of grassland and dense forest instead of just dense forest, due to clearings for farmland.

If real warming happens Antarctica will get pretty nice i bet.

It'll still get pretty much no sunlight, because the sun shines on it at a very shallow angle.

Not for the penguins. Adelie penguins are arctic penguins and they're being replaced by Gentoo penguins, which are sub arctic because, get this, the arctic is warming.

So basically Sweden

According to Wikapedia (most scholarly source) their habitat loss in some areas is more than made up for in others and they are a least concern species. Thanks for posting about penguins though.
