don’t always have the luxury of picking where they live based on climate considerations. I know I’d love to live back in NM, but I’m worried about water and fire danger and other climatic issues so I probably won’t. But I have that luxury. If I lived in Phoenix I’d hate to leave friends and family. But I’d be worried about the water running out, in addition to the increasing heat.

People also probably think, “That’s all in the future.” It’s the story of the frog in the pot with the temperature slowly rising until it boils.
