Arizona is going to become uninhabitable in our lifetimes

[-] WrongOnTheInternet@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

Y'all just need to live in the dirt

Playing Dwarf Fortress on my A.I-powered Alienware desktop in my Tatooine salt cave with my allotted electricity where the moisture on the walls satisfies my electrolytes and water cravings.

No, just Phoenix and Tucson. The Arizona high country to the north has much lower temps than those main cities.

So first, Phoenix and Tucson will invade the Verde valley and Sedona, then move on to Flagstaff. Then they'll move out of state.

Once the water runs out, the temperatures don't matter. Basically the entire population of the state depends on either Lake Mead or wells, and neither of those is going to outlast my lifetime

Arizona uses ~3.5 million Olympic sized swimming pools of water a year, mostly for farming silly crops

The future earth is hot and wet, on average

I read they also use a whole lot of water for intensive alfafa farming to sell to the Middle East, gotta love capitalism

We're going to experience climate refugee migrations of millions in our lifetimes

[-] CeliacMcCarthy@hexbear.net 18 points 2 days ago

already well into the millions

[-] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Parable of the Sower style herds of people walking up the freeways to the north, where they’re met with guns but those who don’t want to share their already limited resources, all while being assaulted, robbed, and murdered along the way

[-] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Billions* will migrate or die

[-] WrongOnTheInternet@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
