And this article explains what’s different about current warming trends


From those past ones before humans existed.

So, whether the the entire world will look like Arizona isn’t the question. How human civilization remains resilient in a world with unprecedented pace of global warming is. I think investments in resilience are great - we should do that. But to ignore the odds science puts on outcomes against which we’ll have no real defense is very poor risk management, to put it mildly.

No rational business would ignore even 15%-20% odds of catastrophic outcomes from something it was doing. It would find ways to change what it’s doing. But unfortunately, this is all politics and thus completely irrational. And to answer your question, yeah, last year, the Pacidic Northwest looked a lot like the southwest this year. Among other effects we’ve been seeing.
