I'm seriously wondering what's going to happen to places like that. Higher sea levels and extreme weather (like hurricanes and tsunamis) will drown the coast. But we never see anything about places that are already hot. Is Vegas just going to be a ghost town out in the middle of nowhere when temperatures hit 180°F? Or will people figure out a way to still live there? Indoors will have some sort of cooling and you wear a pressurized suit with cooling and oxygen to go outside?
Just seems crazy we're just barreling towards a future where we just abandon thousands of miles of land as it all turns into Death Valley.
