Phoenix averaged 5f hotter in 1995 than the averages in 1900; that was 25 years ago. And the rate of change is increasing, we're up 2f since 2007. 13% of the world's 7.5 billion people are starving (that's enough to have one person every 400 feet, everywhere you can plant something). There will be 11.2 billion in 30 years - a person every 300 feet. We're pumping water out of the ground as fast as we're pumping the oil out. The water table under Phoenix is dropping at amazing rates: 1992 to 2001 most public wells 350 feet down dropped 50 feet (in 10 years when the metro population was only 1M; we're at 1.7M today). Again, that data is almost 20 years old. Most aquifers are down substantially, to the point now most states are refusing well permits because at present pumping rates they'll be dry in 30 years (a guess, it could be sooner): And 30 years? That's when another 4 billion mouths will need water - a 50% increase in population. Heck, it could be worse: Santa Fe's water table has dropped from 150 feet to below 400 feet from 1986 to 2001 - when they stopped new permits.
Yes sir; propaganda for sure. And by the way, the richest folk are already selling off their coastal properties - to the point of values being down 20% from just a few years ago. E.g., 1.7 million homes for sale in Florida right now, compared to 1.4 million homes for sale in all of California.i
