I was cynically thinking about what life could very possibly be like as global warming progresses, (no skiing, mass extinctions, etc). Now here's a good article in Salon on getting ready for life on a post-GCC planet. I was also thinking that it's so ironic that Florida will be the state responsible for putting the guy in office who is so much to blame for putting their state under water one day(plan that Disney World vacation now, folks). But I digress.
We also have the cheery news that those of us using the Colorado river for our sprawl party (AZ, NV, CA, I am looking at you) will have even less to fight over. Super.

If you haven't read them yet, I highly recommend Kim Stanley Robinson's new "Science in the Capitol" trilogy--all three books about this exact topic, what it will be like to live in a post-collapse GCC world. (Forty Signs of Rain, Fifty Degrees Below Zero, and the third one, Sixty Days and Counting, was just published yesterday). They are very well written, albeit depressing as hell--but maybe they will help to spur a little more action.
