@w7voa Unchecked growth at a sea level altitude in the desert southwest, I mean who could've seen this coming

@w7voa this has long term consequences for the entire Southwest.
There is absolutely no way our way of life is sustainable under such conditions.
More energy will be required to support air conditioning, ( which adds more hot air to the environment). More water will be needed because evaporation rates will increase.
More bad air because of smoke pollution from wildfire( which will end when all the trees are dead)
Where will the energy come from?
Where will the water come from?
