move north due to water shortages or extreme heat for half the year or more. Will the northern states accept this or will they turn on their fellow citizens? In the fictional book, "The Water Knife," by Paolo Bacigalupi, Texans were the lowest on the totem pole, followed by Arizonans, & then New Mexicans. I think it was yesterday my friend in Phoenix posted it was 115°. Readings like that will become more common.
