It has a decent chance of wiping out areas that got wiped out two years ago by Ian. I’m not as alarmed as many get when it comes to Florida and these storms, but there are certain spots that would be best given over as parkland and allowed to be at nature’s control.

This is how I feel about Arizona and Nevada, which don't really have the big showy natural disasters to make people inveigh against living there, but are just gonna, y'know, run out of water.

Yes just stop the agriculture so we can house tens of millions of people in a desert.

What's the other option? Massive death so we can sell alfalfa to China and Japan and the Middle East?

Explain how.

The idea is that the southwest, specifically Arizona, Nevada, and Southern California, is going to run out of water.

But then you realize that a massive portion of that water currently is being used to grow alfalfa, which Americans don't even really eat, for export to China, Japan, and the Middle East. So, the absurd choice seems to be between still growing alfalfa and letting people die of thirst or no longer growing alfalfa and letting people not die of thirst.

People won’t die of thirst it will just become prohibitively expensive to provide them water.

Are you twelve years old? You can’t actually think this way.

Let's drop a nuke on it.

Just read that sentence again. They won't die. They just can't afford water to drink!

What do you think an entire area of the country running out of water actually means? I mean, maybe it's just mass evacuations and complete abandonment instead of death all so we can export as much alfalfa as we do now.

Let me ask you Brick, what would you all the water you consume in your everyday life cost roughly as much per unit as bottled water does? Would you maybe, idk, move somewhere else?

What a retard.
