All those floods in the middle of America, meanwhile we have towns closing down because the water table is gone from inland California 馃様

Yep. Climate extremes. Everything out of balance.

Hopefully at some point we finally solve the fusion problem for clean, limitless energy, which can in turn meet the huge energy requirements of desalination plants in arid coastal areas (so long as desalination can be implemented with zero harm to the environment, from dealing with the leftover salt, to not sucking marine life into water intakes).

And when most of the world could now benefit from desalination plants once they become more environmentally friendly, there is zero reason to still have any salt production industry that is NOT at a desalination plant.

[quote]plus solar arrays in the SoCal desert also seem to have negative impacts (some of it thermal, if I recall correctly) on desert fauna ... and with currently solar tech the panels only seem to have a lifespan of about 30 years, then they become toxic waste with no practical means of recycling yet ... hopefully this improves in the future[/quote]

Because of course they do...馃檮

Same reason for the floods in the south, and for the Colorado, Rhine, Thames and Yangtze rivers all going dry. @Stereoguy

@Stereoguy aren't you the guy who keeps complaining about how you wish people didn't write political stuff on SW?!
