Europe is not just experiencing heatwaves on land. The Mediterranean Sea is experiencing a brutal marine heatwave this July, which will have devastating impacts on marine ecosystems while also enhancing heatwaves on land. Water temperatures are as high as 6.2°C above normal!

It appears we have arrived at the tipping point early. In America, those who deny climate change will be affected the most with drought, farmers and those in the south east and Midwest states with extreme weather events and heatwaves. Largely republican farmers out west and in California will be the first cut off from dwindling water supplies, the cities will come first. Sea level rise could be quicker than we think and Florida would be a bunch of islands after a good hurricane and coastal regions in the deep south and Texas could be under water too.

Everybody will suffer from climate change and ironically republicans will suffer the most. The rural populations, ranchers and farmers in the west and midwest will have drought, the south will experience extreme weather, hurricanes, tornados and heat waves, along with costal flooding. The reddest places on the map will be hit by climate change the most, including much of "republican" California, their irrigation water will go to the cities.

i say let them fail...
it's about time for the government to step in and nationalize a lot of farmland. that would keep people like bill gates from buying all of it up, mega farms are a huge problem, they're where shitty farming practices get their start, they don't have time to do the right thing, so instead of divesting and spreading the tasks out, they just ignore good practices and do shit like give all the chickens antibiotics, whether they need it or not, and superbugs are born...they monocrop till the soil is depleted, then they pump chemical shit into it that kills the natural biome, instead of working within it and rotating crops....
the government should start buying up any available land, then leasing it out on the condition that sustainable practices are mandatory, and pesticide use is to be kept at a bare minimum. i bet there are a lot of people who would love to have a 50 or 100 acre farm that they only had to pay 10 or 15% of their profits for, and the bad ones would wash out without doing any serious damage to the land

With the right information campaign rural people and farmers can be brought around about climate change since it is tied to their wallets and self interest. If Lithium Sulphur batteries work out, their EV half ton will have a thousand mile range and much of their equipment will be electrically powered in a decade or so, it will make economic sense and many might make much of their own power. Considering ICE maintenance requirements and the automation potential of EVs, it will be like switching from steam to diesel.

It would make for an interesting experiment.
