Just yesterday I was reading that the drought in the southwestern US, to include the Colorodo river basin and the central California valley, has reached such a severe stage that soon many gigawatts of hydro power will be lost due to no water behind the dams. Going to be interesting to see if we can run the air conditioner here in the desert in a few months. Now I read that a recent heat wave in Greenland has melted enough of the glaciers there to cover Florida in two inches of water.
Glad climate change isn't a thing or else we might all be in deep trouble.

@RZ. melting tundra is problematic. Buildings built on supposedly solid "perma"frost are falling over and/or sinking as the ground thaws. Then there's those craters. A lot of Alaskan islands and coastal areas are also in trouble as the ice that used to protect them from the sea disappears. Gotta pic my new homestead site carefully!
