The people with the resources and thus power to effect real dramatic change don’t feel the pain that most depicted in this story are experiencing. I’ve spent some time in Phoenix and they (say, Scottsdale residents) can afford to have a well-watered, green yards and golf courses even during this and live with the A/C blasting 24 hours a day. Until those people feel real pain from this, nothing will change. Not that that’s a sufficient condition though because most of the residents I mention can easily move or spent summers elsewhere. But the people in power have to be more than mildly inconvenienced before there’s a chance of anything happening. So maybe ten years before this is truly horrid in places like Arizona and Florida.
