18. I have a brother

who lives on the west coast, who is employed at a university. He often has lunch with the earth science professors, and the topic of conversation is usually the environment.

He and I discussed the general situation, and some specific things such as Lake Mead. My brother said the earth scientists at the university told him not to expect any real improvements over the horrors of this summer. Although my brother loves the west coast -- he's lived there close to a half-century -- he is considering moving back east.

I recently saw the governor of one state -- I think it was Utah -- holding a press conference where he was discouraging people from moving there. But the truth is that the environmental changes will cause a large migration from coastal areas in the US, as well as globally.
