How much cheaper is it to live on another planet? What are you saving the money for, exactly?

Great question. For those who are educated enough not to deny the existence of science, I believe there's a fair amount of "I'll be dead by the time my area becomes uninhabitable, so who cares?" The way things are going though, they might be wrong. Look what's already happening with water in the southwestern US.

And what's happening there? The massive amounts of irrigation that they are draining in order to water golf courses and to water crops that some morons thought would be a great idea to place in the desert?
I assume you're aware of those things because I can't see an educated man like yourself coming on here saying what you did without being educated on the subject, but then again, I could be wrong?

I don't know what article you're referencing but the articles I've read that detail Phoenix's water issues are centered around overdevelopment in areas that developers knew were water poor. That's not so much a climate issue as a man-made one. But I think it speaks to the point that something thought to be naturally occurring is not.

Overdevelopment and the climate crisis are intersecting issues in many places
