        Excited for a future in which we have ranchers and almond farms warring over California water rights.

        My children will die so that my grandchildren can learn about this shit in the history books.

          What grandchildren, what history books? The grandchildren will be killing each other for a meal at the rate the planet is warming up. If the climate models predicting 4 degrees of warming by 2075-2100 are to be believed, every continent will be desert. A thin livable green strip in Canada, Scandinavia, Siberia, and Northern Europe.
