331. 11. Missed the boat on global warming
Thu May 30, 2013, 10:25 PM
May 2013

I have nothing against Texas or Texans but I honestly think in 30 years it will be uninhabitable due to global warming, water shortages and peak oil driving the cost of air conditioning out of the reach of normal people.

I would never move there or invest any money in property there unless I had absolutely no other choice and if I was living there now I would be doing everything in my power to get the hell out while the getting is good. Ditto Arizona and New Mexico.

Why sign up to be an inevitable climate refugee if there are any other options?
