How ****ed is the Southwest?

[Pitt Gorilla]

I'm sure most people heard about the dead dude found in a barrel in Lake Mead. This underscores the crazy drought conditions that have been plaguing the southwest since 2000 or so. Now, **** appears to be getting real real.

Could have done it in a way that made sense for living in the climate instead of big sprawling oceans of pavement

It's probably not quite as ridiculous as building a city on the coast below sea level in a very hurricane prone area

To be fair, it wasn't below sea level when it was built.

I love living in the sunshine state, the Governors a bad ass and the weathers great, Dums come here to vacay, but we have real freedoms which they can’t equate.

Not worried.

They'll ration the agriculture and golf courses first before residential, those make up like 80% of the water usage in AZ.

Or we work on desalination at some point.

I ain't moving.

Desalinate first.

If you're interested, here's where science is leading for agriculture.....Finding how to grow the most drought tolerant plants in a place like Phoenix.

This is my best friend from bum-**** Montana. We went to middle and high school together. Now he's a plant biologist looking to save mankind with his research.
