And waste precious resources regardless. You know, the ones that say "you're (the government) not going to tell me what to do."

It wouldn't surprise me.

A few years ago I went to a workshop/seminar on global warming and a single comment by one of the presenting scientists, stuck with me, above all the rest. He said wet places will get wetter and dry places, drier. It's a simple concept and says it all. And seems to be holding true.
